I wonder how many below zone dudes will get pulled to in zone for the O-4 screen board to make the DH numbers work out. I'm with you Riddler, I made my decision in May and haven't looked back once. I know the grass isn't always greener on the other side but it can't be nearly as brown.
Those are unbelievable numbers! 20/25!! Did your CO go into Cardiac Arrest? Emergency JOPA meeting with the CO?
Funny how the numbers stuff works out. I have seen some pretty slick shifting of this and that to get the results you want!!!
I dropped my letter this time last year. Passed on the bonus after much thought. Lots of the reasons discussed here are the reason for my decision. Kind of a surprise to everyone when I punched, after 11 years I had seen enough of AD. I stayed in the reserves though. Even being a new guy where I am now it is SO much better than being a DH where I was!
Did you know Eric A.? Lost touch. Wondering where he ended up.
