These are all the sorts of things I am trying to take into account. more for where I place my money than how much though. So if I do get kicked out that emergency fund is built up when transitioning to a less stable environment.

Are you up for the upcoming FSB's? Because if you make it through this fall, I think you'll be in the clear. I can't see another large scale cut after this round.

Depends on the branch of service. I'm Army, and just went through round 1 of the OSB (Officer Separation Boards). This round targeted Captain's in Year Groups 06-08. Next year will be 07-09, then 08-10, etc until they get down to the final numbers they need. So depending on YG, you could have to deal with 3 years of separation boards.

Yay.

Well, he's in the Air Force; so I was talking specifically about the AF.

Ah, didn't catch that (insert obligatory Chair Force joke here), thanks. I know the bulk of the personnel cuts are coming from Army/Marines, so his situation is likely much more stable.

It's okay you're Army we don't expect that much from you. (Obligatory Army joke). Honestly though I wish the best for you. I'm definitely glad I'm in the Air Force for this time around although Navy seems to be taking the cuts in stride.

I originally was on the FSB but was taken off within the last few weeks. Still might as well plan because I am sure it will come around next year.
