"AND, the issue would be?"
The economy is on fire and they can make huge bucks in the private sector.
I know, I left, and the pay (or lack thereof) was a huge reason (actually following the fact that I can't stand bureaucrats and they run the Army).

Yeah, pay is one of the issues. So is overwork of junior officers, and the crushing bureaucracy.
Also, it seems to me that NCO's have become a whole lot more professional in the last 10-20 years -- a lot of these talented folks take real pride in being great NCO's, and they don't have much desire to go to OCS.

Thanks for your service. If you served during X42 I can fully understand your dissatisfaction with the bureaucracy.
