We don't take kindly to squealers in my line of work. This guy would be upside down in a bathtub if he shot off his mouth about some of my future personel management decisions.

Severence package? Stop your bitchin' people. I say any severance package you can walk away from is a good one. My severance package included about 4 gunmen, 100 rounds of 5.56mm, and about 50 rounds of 9mm. I'd like to see some of you pansies deal with dat.

I ended up getting into a battle royale with the last guy I laid off. He won.

Ms. Rimas,

I may have some business oppurtunities for you. Let's call them creative re-financing options. I'm not hard to find.

If you go USMC, enjoy your 10 week "clerkship" in lovely Quantico, VA.

102, I'm afraid you are off on a few points:

1. EOS= End of Obligated Service. The basic contract is 8 years total with 4 active duty. Pilot contracts are modified after the completion of flight training. There are various educational oppurtunites that might alter the basic contract obligations as well.

2. Any officer on a basic contract can resign his regular commission after 4 years active duty. If he does so, he is obligated to accept a reserve commission for the remaining EOS time (4 years.) The remaining 4 years can be served in the SMCR, IRR, AR, or any other form of reserve duty. Soon after he transfers to reserve duty, the reserve officer will recieve a letter from MOBCOM asking if he wishes to be auto-dropped from the rolls after the end of his EOS. Don't ignore this letter! If you choose not to be auto-dropped, you are still free to resign your reserve commission after the completion of your EOS. If an officer has served 8 years or more on active duty, he is not obligated to accept a reserve commission after he resigns his regular commission.

3 Point 2 is modified a little by promotions. By accepting a promotion to Captain, you are agreeing to serve an addtional 2 years active duty.

4 The MARSEPSMAN requires you to submit your resignation at least 4 but not more than 14 months prior to your desired date of seperation. I suspect this is where you have run afoul. Additionally, you cannot submit a resignation letter within 2 years of accepting PCS orders.

5. Semper Fidelis.
