thanks for the info. My Date of Sep (which I guess means retirement as well) is 2013. ADSC to 2014. I plan to get out at 20, and signed the paperwork for such. To me the 1 yr and a few months of freedom (and not to be sent overseas again or PCS'd) is worth it versus the bonus for that one year.

Are you saying that there is a new board that will offer those of us on a current 20 yr DOS a chance to continue to 24? Or will it be automatic? I imagine the former as paperwork has already been signed. Again, I'm speaking as one who prefers to get out at 20, not a day later.
