RA65 was not about other countries and a changing world. The acceptance of the offer of COS08 by others seriously degraded the value of my contract, my career and my career earnings, without any compensation. Once again, if everyone had rejected the unilaterally created COS08, a better deal could have been negotiated, at least including compensation for those whose commands just shot out many extra years.
Well, at least something better than the still-pending 25-yr housing/SLS/COS08 combo deal and all the rest that everyone forgot about...right?
