If that makes sense.

No it doesn't
. The retirement age for military is 55 with a possible extension to 60. That should NEVER be changed. You can't have a bunch of geezers in the military. I know.........I was one of them (retired at 60). One has to compete with much younger people all the time. Don't even think that the geezers could all be arm chair generals.......it doesn't work that way. There is such a thing as the "Universality of Service". The principle of universality of service or "soldier first" principle holds that CAF members are liable to perform general military duties and common defence and security duties, not just the duties of their military occupation or occupational specification. This may include, but is not limited to, the requirement to be physically fit, employable and deployable for general operational duties.
