Does anyone know what happens to an MQ-9 pilot that is passed over for the second time to lt col with 15 years in? Are they retained as a major to 20?  Retained until 24?  Separated?  I would imagine they are retained given manning but know of a major 2 years ago that did not get retained as an RQ-4 pilot. Surprised me. Just wondering what people have scene anecdotally since AFPC is a black box.
