When my dad was offered a promotion to full bird but moved to the Pentagon, he said thanks but no thanks. He retired instead. He said he was not going to be a coffee making butler to some general. A full bird colonel is just a gofer at the pentagon, and you have to live in that area. No way he was doing that.
