Agreed...in the final quarter, I now approach each medical with trepidation.
As to stats: just one guy’s anecdotal observation. Over the last three and a half years, about 1500 guys have retired. During that time, my “projected retirement seniority” has gone up by only an additional 35 numbers or so.
That looks like 98% of guys make it, to this spectator.
