Just when I think I'm out...

[D.L.Ruth]

... they pull me back in.
Just got back from what I planned to be my last deployment and planned on submitting my retirement packet. Well the army had different plans and thought it a good idea for a promotion. Sooo with the promotion comes another three years of service. I'll hit 20 years this coming January and was planning on calling it quits but I guess three years isn't thaaaat much longer.

Would declining the promotion result in your retirement being in a lower grade than you are currently in?

Nice, congrats. Hope the pension bump is worth the three years. Sigh, wishing I could retire right now...

DL, I think you will find that the extra pay and the increased pension will make it worth the time. What rank are you being promoted to? Congratulations on the promotion and thank you for your service.

(I must have gotten sidetracked by the additional three years.)
