It's not just the 11Fs. It's all 11Xs.

Big Blue's solution: stop loss and 15 year UPT ADSCs.

Also, for those who use the AD check-of-the-month club membership as their sole justification for staying... best of luck. Stay because you love the job, you love to serve, you love the people, you love the BS, etc... but don't stay only because of the retirement, because it WILL be changing. It'll start small- increased TRICARE copays, delayed pension payouts for AD retirees until age 60, etc. But it will change. Hopefully we'll all be "grandfathered" in...
