      To be honest, I believe asking or sticking to withdrawal dates has a big downside.
      What "employee" ( military personnel) wants to be asked to leave ?
      That shows you cannot justify your job, paycheck, benefits and home on a base somewhere.
      Think. We have a huge "military welfare" .
      That is just a job and our government is just scared to call them home and stop their paychecks.
      Wouldn't you also be scared of trained killers coming home with no paycheck?
      We cannot cut our military expenses if we wanted to. We are all too scared to "Just say no" to military spending.
