That rule was not in effect when I retired the first time (‘92). The second time, I did not notice the rules as I was out-processing at Benning CRC on returning from Iraq (retiree recall). I believe the rule has something to do with retirement pay being based on the average of the last N years.
That said, I believe one should retain the highest rank held… regardless of how some REMF wants to apportion the beans. It is an honor and a privilege to serve. One should listen up upon hearing the directive, “Attention to orders…” Rank is bestowed based on service and ability.
Rank on retirement is honor retained. Grade on retirement is a budget decision. Our CURRENT military has a curious disconnect when it comes to equating honorable service to retirement pay and benefits.
