Looks like there is a new projected retirements list out.

Only 663 retiring over the five year period, 2012-2016, for an average of only 132/year.

Barring an economic recovery, which results in growth, it could be another four or five years of stagnation considering that we have over a 1000 guys out on MIL/LOA/SIC. Obviously, some of the SIC guys might not return, but you would think that the majority of the MIL/LOA guys are going to return fairly shortly and they represent almost 35% of that number.

At least once we hit 2017 and beyond, things should start looking better...
