My STRD is 1995 and I'm one of the top 5 11Gs when they last ran a rack and stack to match a requirement. 2010 STRD seems pretty safe to me, but being locked in to another 2 years of AD sounds poopy. Can you stay past 20 w/o taking the bonus? That's what I would do until I could get hired elsewhere. Nice to have the ability to drop retirement papers if you don't like what the AF is doing to you or a better opportunity becomes available.
