US Army Aviators are complaining of a "stealth" stop loss being used against them...

The heart of the issue is when the soldiers must serve their three-year BRADSO. Until recently, the Army allowed aviation officers to serve their BRADSO concurrently with their flight school Active-Duty Service Obligation. The Army recently changed the rules to require the officers to serve the BRADSO consecutively, adding three years to the officers’ service times.

The Daily Caller obtained a video filmed in 2020 of an HRC officer saying that the BRADSO would be served concurrently to the flight school ADSO.

“You’re ADSO upon graduation … you’re not going to have to do three [years] after,” he said, in reference to the BRADSO. The officers note several instances like this one of them being told that the BRADSO would “run concurrently with the flight school ADSO.”

All three officers told the Daily Caller that they were alerted to the changed interpretation in February 2023.

Army HRC did not provide a response to the Daily Caller’s request for comment by publish time.

 “Every company commander I’ve had in five-seven years has left. None of them have made a career of it,” the first aviation officer said. Company commanders are typically captains. Some officers want to exit the service before they get promoted to major, which, for most, is effectively a grounded desk position. “I don’t want to do that.”

Can't comment on the facts at play here but I can say without a doubt.

THE LAST THING THE US ARMY WANTS IS A WHOLE GENERATION OF PILOTS FEELING LIKE THE ARMY SCREWED THEM OVER!

This kind of thing affects recruiting in a big way!

The solution seems simple.  Just let them continue to fly.  Don't push them behind a desk.

Is there any such thing as a permanent Captain and then just add steps to his pay since he won't go up in rank to ensure they stay?

Captain 1st, 2nd, or 3rd class sorta thing?

Probably not but they better figure out something.
