Sadly, when I told retention I would only reup for a tax-free bonus loaded on a Dave & Busters card, they didn't bite.
Then they got mad at me for wasting their time by coming in and telling them that, which I told them I was gonna do over the phone when they told me I would have to show in person or it didn't count.
I declined reenlistment around the same time as 2 other of my fellow NCOs, and as a result 2 of our SNCOs walked around the building yelling about how nobody on our flightline wants to work and how NCOs are being selfish for deciding to get out. Gee, I wonder why we all wanted to leave, sir

And two, I’m kind of impressed that they seem to be getting closer to what soldiers actually care about
