Hmmm I think youre right. I'll stand down my outrage. For now...

What option is available to the 1-year takers from last year? If it's the Tier 6 (CE) option that forces at least 22 YAS that's not a nice thing to do to folks that gave you the benefit of the doubt to stick around to see if you fixed things. I know last year's PSDM gave no guarantees but extra mandatory years tacked on the end just because that's what's normally given to 5yr contract expirees is an insult and oversight if you ask me. I suppose the devil is in the details of this year's PSDM. I'm not a 1-year taker but I know quite a few that are anf would go to 20 years military service but not 22 YAS that'll now probably punch and look for AFRES options to get to 20.

I'm in the 12-14 year block that got the double raise. Was $265 more after taxes this month.

Whatever you use, make sure there are 6 to 9 references to the low level entry time on there because that never requires last-minute changes.

$1000 at 12+ or 14+? The current bump starts at 14. They changing it to 12?

The website says "late Spring" I'm expecting an update on June 20th to say "mid summer" followed by release of the Bonus on Sept 15th with a due date from applicants of Sept 30th.

Running functions in Excel is nice for making numbers match a desired reality. By his description, that's what A-1 has been doing. Actually solving the problem would take talking to and listening to folks who are bonus-eligible and finding out what it would take to get them to stay. (Hint: it's gonna take more than money)

That doesn't happen. No virus we've ever studied has ever changed its mode of transmission.
