Not sure if you all have heard that the Army is so desperate to retain officers that they have offered an attempt at a bonus. 35K to CPT and 1LT(P)s for three year ADSO non-concurrent with current ADSO's. There are other incentives but the goal of HRC is to retain 90% of all eligible Captains.

My unscientific study based on my organizations results is that only about 25% (3 of about 12) have taken the bonus/incentive package.

I have to wonder how confident HRC was that a bunch of late 20's early 30's Officers with families and college degrees and headhunters e-mailing them left and right would fall for a "junior enlisted" type of bonus in order to spend at least three more years of 12-15 month deployments for (basically after taxes) 8K a year.
