Air Force Terminations | AMVETS Legal Clinic | Military Retirement Benefits | The Daily Caller (http://dailycaller.com/2011/11/25/military-advocates-decry-illegal-early-terminations-of-157-air-force-majors/)
Not good is it.
Chapman University has taken up the cause of several terminated majors. Major Kale Mosley, a combat pilot who has served for six months shy of 20 years, is one of their clients. Mosley has served in 13 combat zones and was recently deployed to Libya with only 30 hours notice. Shortly thereafter he was sent to Iraq.
“It was on the same day of this Iraq deployment that the Air Force gave him a pink slip,” said Rotunda.
“The issues of military personnel are more pertinent than ever with increased combat zones worldwide, from Libya and Uganda to Afghanistan and Iraq,” said Josh Flynn-Brown, a Post-Doctoral Clinical Fellow at the Military Institute, who is handling Mosely’s case. “It is a time to honor our heroes, the men and women who drop everything to fight for our country. We honor them not by handing them a pink slip as they are shipped off.
The advocates are calling on members of Congress to institute a Temporary Early Retirement Program, as they did during the draw-down in the 1990s to offer “pro-rated benefits for those officers who, for one reason or another, fall shy of 20 years"
