"The Army is changing its retention program for fiscal 2022 by shrinking the window of time during which soldiers can reenlist and even ending a popular duty station stabilization loophole, Army Times has learned.
The modifications, which don’t directly affect the service’s retention bonus program, reduce the options available to soldiers who want to re-up. The service has seen strong retention in recent years, but Army officials did not acknowledge that the high retention was driving their decision to tighten the program."

SFC (Join to see) I don't see much, if any, positive coming these changes. In fact I thought this comment was condescending... "The service is reducing its “Reenlistment Opportunity Window” from 15 months prior to a soldier’s scheduled separation to 12 months, according to the email and release.". Really... what an insult. Looks like their answer to the reduction in forces... IMO. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

How is it an insult? It used to be 12 months. Then it was 15. Now it's 12 again. It fluctuates fairly often based on the needs of the service.

WOW, if reducing the window to decide is a game changer, maybe the military isn't the place for you.

SFC (Join to see) Big Army simply cannot make up it’s mind. Too many Soldiers and Marines that really want to serve are dumped for reasons that change with the wind!
