Not true. It is common policy for you to retire at the highest grade you held
when in the service. For example, if you spend some time in a job whose
paygrade was an 08, and then, due to the "needs of the service" were sent back
down to an 06 job, you could apply to retire as an 08.
Example: Poindexter. He wants to retire at the grade he held as advisor to
Ronnie Raygun. That paygrade is HIGHER than his current paygrade. He may
or may not get it...
