No, not really. I think the promotion rate to Major overall is like 90%, and supposedly they don't look at MOS, ie a higher percentage of pilots.

Actually, the past couple years we've been doing ok. Actually turning away guys who wanted to reenlist. This past year it finally caught up with us and manpower totally underestimated how many guys were going to jump ship, and that is both officer and enlisted, across the board.

The guys I know getting out have already been selected for Major, and are leaving anyhow. No VPS, no involuntary sep, just walking out the door empty handed. Of course, most have they've already "logged" 2 years+ in Iraq by now and are getting a wee bit tired of it.
