I was active duty until 1992, then Reserve or Guard for the balance.

Does that matter? If so, why?

92....

Why you get out in 92?
4 yrs short of a 20 yr AD retirement.....
Riffed as a cpt after 6 yrs TIG?
1st rd of draw downs after desert storm?
Or did ya take the money and run early out options.
Dont seem like it coulda been that cause of double dipping issues.

Shoulda stayed AD huh????
Unless some pony was behind the cart pulling the wrong way for ya.


So basically your a cpt that got off AD at yr 15 16ish.
And made rank you woulda never have made on AD in the reserves.



I'm a dik...............
