Guess this proposal has been out for a while but just recently heard about it. Kind of a bias source but it appears accurate.

An independent council recomends that the current military retirement program be changed so that retired service members recieve retirement benefits at age 62 for 10 years service, age 60 for 20 years service, and age 57 for 30 years service. No mention how likely it will be implemented or what service members it would affect.
I think it for the most part blows being that its unfair in my opinion and would encourage the brightest service members to retire at 10 years and further hurt retention. Howerver if it does go into place I'd think I'd benefit from the 10 year retirement option (and I am by no means implyng that I am a bright service member).
