This is not a less-than-desirable assigment, especially as a Army Field Grade Officer. In any case, because he can remain in service until 28 years, he will have another 4 more years available to obtain 0-7. He will not and is not required to resign. That would be punishment under the UCMJ of which he is not receiving. While his next officer EES will not look squeaky clean, he has plenty of time to recharge and make Colonel. Sadly, even if he retires at 28 years, he will be offered a premier contracting position after. This is all show and no go!

Reassignment from the white house is a demotion without punitive action. He more than likely be assigned some low level job ( for his rank) that a junior officer would generally do. He very well could go from the White House to being in charge of sewer disposal from temporary base camps where they. now burn all the poo to get rid of it. He could be assigned to be an aid to a high ranking person and simply be the middle man who passes messages between the higher ranking person and higher ups. He wont have a meaningful command of anything that actually suits his rank.

Let me reiterate...he was leaving anyway. Once again, a Pentagon assignment for an Army Field Grade of his background is not a demotion. Additionally, as an LTC assigned to the Pentagon, he was not going to Command anything. They are a dime a dozen and bottom of the food chain in that environment. Also, don't underestimate being a director of staff (aid) for some General. That has a promotion written all over it! I'm not talking out of my [BLEEP] here, this is 24 years of experience that involves the WH and Pentagon to name a few. I've seen folks promoted for far less than "field hygiene and sanitation affairs liaison" out of that place. LOL
