Well, S got the official word today that his year group will be affected by the extension in time-of-[commissioned]-service for promotion. When he commissioned, it was 3 years to Captain/O-3. Around the time he made 1LT, they extended it to 3.5 years. And a month before his original eligible-to-promote-to-Captain date, it gets increased yet again. Talk about bad timing.
I can only assume this is the start of 2013′s version of October-2012. 1 Huge blow down, at least 2 to go. Still waiting on news for:
- Promotion Board
- Sequestration/Budget (aka Congress’s inability to do, well, their job).
I’m not expecting good things.
