It's set. She'll be let go in mid May, using up her leave, and officially discharged the last day of June. (All unvaxxed have to be out by July 1st) That puts her 11 months before her 20 years.... no pension. It's all legit, and attorney has suggested we don't throw good money away (which is about to be tight) to pursue a better outcome.

I joined the Marines in 1969, there were 330K Marines. After Vietnam ended I knew several senior enlisted that had 16-19 years in, and when they went to re-enlist to get their 20 years, they were told, sorry, don't need you anymore. It seemed to me that the only ones that were allowed to re-enlist were the ass-kissers who were useless at their jobs. I got out in 1977, by then there were 120K Marines.

The guy I thought that got fucked the worst had been an LDO (limited duty officer). He was a SSgt (E6), during vietnam was made an LDO, after 5 years had made it to Major. After Vietnam he was reverted to an enlisted MSgt (E8), and 18 years in and was not allowed to re-enlist to get his 20 so he would get a pension.
