About face: Army reverses forced retirement policy after lawmakers say it hurt office

[Jeff]

Looks as though the military has rethought there idea of having officers retire at there the highest enlisted ranks, many officers would of lost a lot of money some as much as a grand a month.

The Pentagon will allow some 120 officers forced into retirement to leave with full benefits, an about-face from a previous policy that would have seen them retire at their highest enlisted rank if they spent fewer than eight years as an officer.
The Enhanced Selective Early Retirement Board and Officer Separation Board policies forced certain service members to retire at the highest enlisted ranks they held for 36 months, rather than at their current pay grade. According to a Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) report, some service members would see a loss of over $1,000 a month in retired pay under the policy.
A bipartisan group of 15 lawmakers had pressured Secretary of the Army John McHugh into making the change, saying the policy essentially demoted the officers before kicking them out.
