Agree!!!I submit we already have overstructure -- too many CPT to LTC folks are just not in the right places and in my observation most staffs are too large. I also suspect that in about four years we're gonna have a glut of Majors. Company Commanders, perhaps???There is also a need to grow overstructure in the O-3 to O-5 and E-6 and above paygrades.
Also need to figure out what we're going to do with the overstrength in SSGs that's looming.
For Officer and enlisted ranks, is up or out really that good an idea...A lot of those folks used to get a lot of AD time built up working for the CA Brigades and Commands overseas back in the days of peace. While the war may make some less anxious for AD, I suspect there's still a pretty good flow. Might be worth looking at......Maybe "dwell time" for non-TPU reservists needs to be cut, also...
In any event, HRC needs to get rid of their 'fill the hole' mentality and the force structure guys need to undo some of the 'balance' they've applied to the force to facilitate said hole filling. Whatever is done, you're totally correct in saying that:Totally true and it seems to me the onus is on the pachyderms and HRC...In short, before fixating on the bitch about contractors, let's examine some of the easy solutions to replace them. Not willing to do that? Then there's no bitch!
