Last time I heard, they were throwing people out. It was either up or out. Has that changed?

Same for the officer corps. The only O-3s you will see retiring with 20 are mustangs.
It has always been up or out, but after a person reaches a certain rank, the year you must get out (High Year Tenure) is either at or over the 20 year point where a person can retire.
The Air Force has the highest High Year Tenure times for all the services. An E-5 Airman can go to the 20 year point whereas the highest year for E-5 in any other branch is 16 years. That means an E-5 in the Air Force can go until retirement while in other services their enlisted troops have to get promoted at least to E-6.
HRM and playing personnel strength numbers really close to vest.
HR management tools used since the 80’s have included frequent weight program adjustments, PFT changes, merging rates and MOS, college degree requirements for entry level enlistments... it is AFU and discourages reenlistments.
Removing tenure caps bottlenecks the lower ranks with dinosaurs clogging any chance of upward mobility. It is stupidity with failure written all over it. Worse, these moving target management programs leads to the degradation of an effective armed forces.
