Truer words have never been written on this forum. In my 10 years of AD I came to that conclusion as well. Thankfully the USAF can fly extremely well. It sucks at everything else to include personnel, security, services and CE. I spent my first 3 years in the USAF in the Support Group as a cop officer. All every officer in the Support fields do is think of ways to get promoted and attract attention. There are thousands of support positions that should be contracted out. Releasing pilots early now is absolutely absurd. Paying them to separate so close to their committments expiring is FWA IMO. Take advantage of it if you can though.
