I agree that the guys in over 10, that are looking at in or out, should be targeted especially, but I would doubt if you will see anything else coming down the pike.
I just hope that the bonus will still be there in another 1 1/2 yrs when I become eligible, especially if we have a party change!!!!!
Also why Ive stated that we need to go back to a 100% retirement w/benefits and start paying extra after 20, as well as being Tax Free for life at 20 yrs.
A man can dream, can't he?

Did you ask him how many billion per year SOCOM spends on infil platforms?
How about JSOC and their units? Did you ask him how much they were given in bonuses and specialty pays?
SF is the most cost effective force in SOCOM. Period.
