Had that exact same conversation with my son a few years ago (he's still in...but part of the "problem" if I was being honest with 18 Series teammates)...I told him when they started talking about the Blended Retirement System that the changes are never in the best interest of the Soldier. Recommended he keep his original high 3 plan.

He didn't. Of course that was before his 10 year mark and he was positive he was getting out.

He reenlisted last week for 6 years ($60k bonus; 35P Russian Linguist)...that'll take him to the 16 year mark.
