I don’t like it. An organization makes the rules… and then decides they can’t let people go because of brain drain. I see this happen in civilian life also. To me that means the people who were in the leadership position before the time of their regular retirement didn’t do their jobs of training their people to be ready to accept the responsibility of the next level. It actually seems to me the people who get rewarded with extra benefits are the people who didn’t train their people properly. Now that I’m almost there, for myself, I’m not going to hold up good people that I trained. I feel like I would be taking away from their families.

IMO it won't change many SNCOs to stay in any longer than they would in the current retirement system. To many of us are to beat up, or burnt out, to stay in past 25-26 years. Of course this will could change with the amount of days deployed decreases.

SGM Steve Wettstein Hadn't thought about the physical abuse done to the body over a 20 plus year career. You make a good point about days deployed having an impact.

Not to mention getting to old to chase a bunch of 18-19 year old Privates around.

SFC John Hill - That is why Tazers were invented. No need to chase them around when you can make them stay still.
