My Sailor so wanted to work at the Pentagon. While on the staff at Camp David her duties included security YN and keeping everyone's Yankee White (presidential) security clearances up to date. That meant regular trips to the SECNAV office for final sign offs. She had high hopes of working there full time before the PTS fiasco. Oh well.....

I do understand both our you...what a waste of talent on their part.

Blondie,
I know how you feel. My daughter has said that she will not be going for a 4th enlistment. She's just not happy with her current rating, CTR. At her last re-enlistment she had to cross-rate because YN, which she loved, was overmanned: The infamous Perform To Serve program. It meant that at E-6 she was having to learn an entirely new skill set and pushing back any chance of making Chief by years. With another 9 years to make her 20, doing something she doesn't enjoy (even though her evals are great and she was nominated for Sailor of the Year) just isn't worth it.YN remains overmanned and CTR undermanned, so the possibility of switching back isn't going to happen. The whole PTS program was a major screw-up, a fact the Navy now admits. She is very discouraged by the whole thing and has lost all her enthusiasm for the Navy.
Add to that, she too has fallen in love (non-service member) and wants to settle down into a 'normal' life. Can't blame her for looking for happiness elsewhere.
The Navy has been a wonderful experience for her and she has no regrets. She will be getting out with a great resume and a bachelors diploma. None the less, its sad that the Navy doesn't know how to retain great Sailors.
Peace.
