The guy who was DG in my SOS flight just got out. Several of the number ones at our base are also getting out. Several of the weapons officers I know plan to get out as soon as the WIC ADSC expires. This is unfortunate, because those are the people we want as our leaders, and the people the Air Force wants as our leaders. Perhaps some of the buffoonery lately is because so few qualified, motivated people are out there to select for these positions that we end up with whoever is left.

This is true, but in addition if you're in the bottom of your senior class you may even get disenrolled just because they have to downsize. AFROTC offered a voluntary separation program for cadets in the Spring where those interested could opt out of their commission and owed the AF nothing. Unfortunately only a handful of cadets took the offer so they had to cut some people and I heard they will be doing it again next year. Times are tough. The only way you can be safe is to fix the things under your control and hope for the best.
