No one does 15 years and gets out if they enjoy the service, which you said you did. You were either RIFted which competent people are not, or you were kicked out. You already said it was not medical. So which is it ron? Why didn't you retire? That is what led to your TSA job as you also said.
You ignore me because I proved you wrong in three straight threads and you had no debate knowledge (your feckless and profane PMs notwithstanding). I understand it can be tough out here in the big world actually looking for facts but share with us more about that training.
What AFSC did you have that gave you this awesome training?
'Tis a simple question even you can answer.
Besides, you don't ignore me on TU...or you don't know it...
While I don't recall the specific years it was during the '80's and/or '90's that several programs were rolled out to reduce military force size..
One I recall was commonly called "Up or Out". Enlisted members could not reenlist if they did not hit certain promotion points during that enlistment. A lot of stagnant E-5 and E-6 hangers on were shown the door.
Some early outs were also offered but those people gave up a retirement check for a few bucks up front.
These programs were for the purpose of meeting force size requirements but a side effect was getting rid of lots of dead wood.
