So, I can still drop a letter and get out with nothing, but I would prefer to take advantage of the retirement program.
Man, tough call. How many years do you have? Guard reserve an option if you cant get this? I have the pension, and am pretty fond of it. It has made first year pay much easier. Not sure I'd want to give up maybe 500 seniority numbers. Have you pushed for an answer whether theyll give you the retirement without extending you? Whats your boss say? Significant other?
Separate issue, how exactly did you present availability at your interview and on application?
