| Topic | So why do people usually not stay 20 years in the military? |
| codey 02/20/21 11:07:22 AM #38: | Yeah the enlisted side got more dicey recently, at least in the air force, as far as staying in 20 years. When I was getting out they were talking about removing time in service as a qualifier for promotion, and that was resulting in people getting the boot when they hit their rank limit. Basically, you used to get points added to your promotion test score that could get you promoted over people that tested better than you. The result is more (in theory) qualified people getting promoted while the people just kicking it stayed at their current rank. I say in theory because in air traffic I worked with a ton of people in air traffic that got promoted into the SNCO ranks because they could test well but couldn't keep aircraft separated to save their life. --- *runs out of topic naked* ...
