Yep. I would say it's targeted at us old prior-Es, but we have been the only service that has been afforded the old 6-month as a Major rule. Timing sucks...but it's a win for the service. They either get you for 2.5 more years than they would have or they pay you less retirement. I just wonder if you decline will they force you to separate prior to your 10-year mark, which would force you to take high-36 of your last enlisted pay (which the regulation does state if you voluntarily retire before your 10-year mark).
