Apparently the Navy has been doing this since 2012. I get that they will supposedly get "reset" in a new year group but won't it still be obvious when you have a 3 yr gap in OPR/EPRs?

The reset isn't to try to fool anyone into thinking that you're in that year group. I'm sure there will be something else in your records that show you did this program. The reset is simply so that you compete against others who have the same amount of time in actual service instead of against your classmates who now have 3 years of USAF experience over you.

If I merge this thread with the Force Shaping thread, will it make sense?

[FBomb]

I don't think so. In reality, the Force Shaping thread is really about cutting people. This, in LtGen Cox's words, is about retainment.
