Is the time in service cap for the Army Warrant Officer program getting the most qualified Soldiers to fill its ranks?
Jason,
I thought I answered this once before. I think that they are losing quality Soldiers with experience and knowledge that could be considered invaluable with the limit and cap that is currently in place.
Example: A few year before I thought about retiring, I was approached by my local CID on kind of a recruiting pitch, one of the senior guys that worked their knew me from when we worked drug interdiction and asked me if I was interested, we call up to HRC in falls church, VA at the time and they told both of us no way possible because I had over 14 years federal TIS, and the cutoff was 12 yrs. He fought for me and told them of my back ground and all the things I had done that were perfect for the job and the field, they couldn't care less, there were waivers available, but they didn't want to help out with that either, I think that if I had gotten that I would still be active today and a productive member of the CID environment.
So I guess their and my loss on both accounts.
