Know what? I am an officer.
But I think of a lot of 0-6s that are holding positions that are, shall we say, non-essential.

Air Force TImes had headline
157 Majors to get the boot. No retirement, no pay - nada. THe max notice any of them get is 5 months.
All the serives are starting to make cuts or plans for cuts - Vietnam redux all over again.
