There is no such thing as a "good job declawing a cat." it is equivalent to cutting someone's fingers off at the first knuckle, and if you think they need to be declawed, perhaps you shouldn't have a indoor cat...put it outside and let it keep the claws.

Military retirement under attack
I guess no one remembers the Redux fiasco? They already tried this once...they set it up to automatically roll everyone into Redux, only to be later told they had to offer the option for the 50% base pay or the lump sum plus 40% base pay. I would have to go digging, but I believe it took a legal challenge, but the last time they tried "no grandfather clause" it didn't work out so well for them.

Easy way: focus on reading the 20/70 line, and no waiver needed!

The GI Bill website has the following information: https://www.gibill.com/news/flight-training-now-covered-by-post-911-gi-bill-333.html Looks like a good deal to me. Thanks for the heads up!

Military retirement under attack
FYI--this is how our neighbors to the north do it (sts). https://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dgcb-dgras/ps/pen/reg/ap-ar/scenario-eng.asp Of course, they do allow Captains to stay in as long as they want...which provides some people who are SMEs, but as many or more slugs who are just there for the paycheck. It is a mixed bag really.

Any system not allowing for grandfathering will be challenged in court just like the bullshit known as redux.

Perhaps we can finally stop with the waste of time CBTs and just get over the fact that people are people and all can serve their country.

Non Continuation for passed over Majs
As I understand it, you're eligible for retirement on 1 Feb 2016. Therefore, I would think either the line, "Majors who will qualify for retirement within five years of the convening date of the board shall normally be continued," or the line, "However, as we are in a period of force reductions you normally should not continue an officer with negative quality indicators documented in his or her record, or who will not qualify for retirement within five years of the convening date of the board, or who does not have a critical skill described above, unless it is clearly in the best interests of the Air Force to do so," applies to your situation. I guess it all depends on what they consider "negative quality indicators documented in his or her record," but I'd sure as hell be raising a stink in your situation.

Senators Ask Panetta For Estimate To Terminate JSF Program
@bullet, The Marine Harriers that provided CAS in the rescue of the F-15E in Libya took off from the USS Kearsarge. It was definitely an austere location just miles away...

The Typhoon isn't working too well for the Brits. They have to fly it paired with a GR4 to lase so they can drop.
