No, however the Commodore did call a meeting with all of us that got out and asked a series of questions about why we're getting out. I think the numbers hit the Bureau at a pretty staggering pace and he was tasked to find out why. Not much the CO's can do about guys getting out as the problems are well above the squadron/CAG level. Time will tell.[/quote]


"Time will tell". I will be surprised what effects IA's, decrease manning on the boat side, helo community. etc. etc....has on future numbers in the next few years.

I only know 3 people "staying in" from their JO tours....might have something to do with 10 years prior "E" time. 3-4 years to retirement plus a bonus would be hard to pass up I guess.
