Wasn't my choice, it was a budget issue and only voluntary, self-financed transfers were being considered (thank you, Mr. Nixon). When it came down to my final year, I was told that if I had made E4, my tail would have headed to sea. Two weeks after receiving my orders extending me for the last twelve months, I received my promotion.

Go figure!
