I don't necessarily agree with everything in the article, but I have first hand evidence that the army needs to implement a system that would provide a variety of incentives to officers to stay in the army. The fact of the matter is out of all the FA LTs that I associate with I am the only one currently considering staying in after my commitment. That is out of 10 individuals. 10% retention is pretty scary. Obviously this is just a cross section of the army, but it is alarming still the same.
