Not that I'm "coming down on you", but there are a bunch of us retired majors out here who were mostly prior enlisted and who were over 20 years of service when the early 90s "peace dividend" came around and were told to retire. There are some who retired as majors at 15-19 years of service because they were given early pro-rated retirements to meet drawdown demands. I fall into the first category, my neighbor falls into the second.

And by the way, he has always seemed to be a poser and a loser.

Thank you for reminding me! I amend my opinion, and, if I could, my post.
I'd forgotten the drawdown. I live by an AF base and they just make rank so fast! Not like in the Navy (not that i'm an expert on officer's rank) where it was usually harder to rise in the ranks.
I'm a Navy wife (enlisted dh retired in 2000)
I guess the truth is I wanted to believe the worst about this guy. :D
I'm sorry I got caught up in the moment.

I still don't like him. Something about him sets my teeth on edge.
