I pointed this out to some jr's in my current unit. The delta between VSP and RIF is only 0.25%. I'm not scoffing at $10+ K. But getting RIF'ed will allow you another 4-5 months active duty pay and bennies which should exceed anything you might lose by not VSP'ing. And that's more months racking up hours, hopefully PIC.
However, if you want to punch...there's no guarantee you'll get RIF'ed. If you KNOW you want out, hard to justify passing up VSP.
Tough choice man, work the guard/reserve hard.
