My commission is resigned and i have the orders accepting it.

That being said the .mil has asked for it and is we get into any actual conflict in the next 24-36 months our medical is screwed. They have been making it virtually impossible for anesthesia providers to make 04 & O5, eliminating the ability to retire. The 66F force is almost as low as pre 9/11 numbers and that's not good.

That's mainly the reserve side of the house. Army reserve has like 75% of ALL the Army medical in it, and the Army has like 50% of the entire DOD surgical capability.

They had us over strength for years and have cut back to just under "optimal" but they found out after 9/11 that optimal isn't enough to run a war in 2 separate countries. They are also losing all the deployment experience of those officers with 10-16 years in.

You’d think they’d learned their lesson, but with new commanders every couple years and with their agendas, things get overlooked. Then it’s too late when they’re needed. Happens all the time unfortunately.
