Doesn’t surprise me in the least if you’re right about AFRC manning issue. I spent time as an SJA in the unit world and they’re usually way overmanned in the middle enlisted ranks because nobody wants to get reassigned from “home”, which they eventually have to do because they grade out of the position they’ve filled for the last 15 years. It also would not surprise me if they use vax status to do it - makes it easier to put together an administrative separation package.

Thank you Colonel! And yes, I am standing at attention!
I wonder sir, if the issue and the process of putting people out is an attempt to thin the herd? You sound to be suggesting that.
If that is the case, I wonder if doing it this way will bypass the use of the Readjustment Bonus they used on those of us who were RIF’d in the early 70’s. It is a drop in the bucket now but in those days to those qualifying (years of service) the maximum was $15,000.00.
Sounds like the Administration is going to get rid of many career folks, on the cheap.
