The navy is authorizing both voluntary and Involutary Separations for officers. Ive had classmates get voluntarly released from Active duty, while in my case I am being INVOLUNTARYLY SEPARATED. Its a heck of a birthday present because the next day after the effective date is my birthday.

Yeah I could go into the Army but I really dont want to, and the marines already had there shot a me. I would consider the Coast Guard however they dont take interservice transfers.

Sorry to hear of it on your birthday too - how is the job search in civilian life going - have you started doing that yet?

Oh well - Navy has always screwed enlisted men - they usally take care of officers - maybe Rummy is shalking things up?

Seriously - most "setbacks" lead to new opportunities. I would consider Army if you want a military career - sure to be a need for Army officers.

That seems like such a waste to not make it worth your while to find something to do in the Army or the Marines. During the Army RIFs of the 70s the CG took a fair number of Army Aviators (Commissioned) but they had to give up one grade. A lot of Army Captains became CG LTjgs.
