The Air Force had announced TERA as one of the force shaping tools (TERA is the Temporary Early Retirement).  I had applied and was turned down as "not eligible"...I did not agree with the reasoning given me, but I am not going to fight the beast.  Yesterday, I saw this article... Basically, they are indeffinately placing this program on hold while they re-evaluate the end strength goals that they want..... HUH??!!  You mean they actually initiated a program without knowing what the endstate should look like?  Tell me it isn't so??!!  I can't help it....I get a grin on my face just thinking about it!!

Maybe when you left the Army and went to the AF you were hoping that this kind of craziness wasn't DoD wide contagious. No such luck, Sir.
I think it's in the water.

The same thing happens in all services.  I suspect this is a direct result of recent political events.  As always, stand by to stand by.  Things may change.

Yes, but has the Army put an indef halt/pause on it? THAT is the part that I find funny.....start the program, but hold it up because they don't really know how much they need to be letting go!
