Bidding on a 3 year assignment knowing you will retire in 2 years.
I'm bidding this year and will go to next and final assignment in 2027. Everything on my bid list is a 3 year tour keeping me at post until 2030. All overseas. I will hit 20 years and 55 years old in 2029.
20 years is enough. I don't want to go for 21 years. Is there anything "wrong" with bidding on a 3 year assignment knowing I will retire after 2 years? Will I need a reason to curtail after 2 years other than I want to retire?
