Question for fellow vets and/or military experts...

At what point in a officer's career,
if they never make Major,
do they get...asked... to separate from the service?

It used to be that at the magic '18 years' mark, they couldn't separate you for things like this; they had to let you stay in until you hit 20. (At 17 years, 11 months, however, you're SOL.) I know that applies to RIF (Reduction in Force, layoffs to you civvies out there), and I think it applies here as well, but I wouldn't swear to it. (My dad was RIF'ed at 17 1/2 years.)
