Good luck.

Including the Brigade CSM who was blindsided when Walz jumped the chain of command in expediting his retirement package & the CSM who replaced Walz.DMac wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 10:29 amMan, salty, that R has really got a chokehold on you. To put this kind of negative twist on Walz and to insinuate that his retirement was anything less than honorable (honorable in the way he went about it) is just wrong.old salt wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 1:08 am Another factor in Master Sergeant Walz's retirement decision -- I believe he would have incurred an obligation to serve another 3 years if he completed the course work for Sergeant Major & began receiving E-9 pay. Many of his peers had their retirements cancelled by the ensuing stop loss. Walz somehow managed to quickly pull the plug, faster than normal, just in time. That factors into the resentment being directed at him by his fellow soldiers who had to deploy. It was even more disruptive for NG soldiers who had to leave their civilian jobs & lives for such a lengthy deployment. Walz could have remained in the NG & still be a Congressman but he would not have been able to deploy with his unit.
Yes, he undoubtedly would have had to extend in order to accept E-9. This was me at E-6, I would have had to extend (think it was 3 years) in order to accept it but I didn't and I got out. This is commonplace, everyday stuff but you hear cowardice and abandonment re Walz and it's just so very wrong.
You can give me some proof of the "many" who put in for retirement but were denied because of the mission at hand? Aint buyin' it (yes, I know it can happen). Aint buyin' the faster than normal, just in time stuff either. After 24 years he decided to retire and went about it as dictated by procedure and regulations.

What are the odds this guy has a R next to his name?
This twist is so wrong...guy says quit instead of retired, c'mon!!
Or his approach?
It’s really worse. You and cradle fairly blindly support anyone who serves its firm if et it if not agreeing with that level of lifetime immunity. But to watch a dude turd on his own people like this should Offend you and cradle more Than all our comments collectively over time.
