You hit the nail on the head! If you could leave and take a position as a captain or whatever rank you are... Forget 3% it would be a far greater number leaving taking whatever opportunity is out there that matches their own and families lifestyle needs..... Especially since the basing debacle has forced so many to unwillingly commute to satisfy the needs without sacrificing too much in the process.
We are our own worst enemy......Yet we still keep training our cheap replacements and wonder why they keep coming after our benefits.
The older generation has a responsibility to preserve the benefits for the future generation and possibly your own kids.
