 > 
 > As a result of DOD budget cutbacks, we are forced to reduce the size 
 >of the force. Under CRAP, older soldiers will go on 
 > early retirement, thus permitting the retention of lower paid 
 >soldiers who represent the Army's future. 
 > 
 > A program to phase out older soldiers via retirement by the end of the 
 > current fiscal year will be placed in effect. the 
 > program will be known as Retire Active Personnel Early (RAPE). 
 > 
 > Employees who are RAPEd will be given the opportunity to seek 
civilian 
 > employment within the Department of the Army. 
 > To that end, RAPEd soldiers will be required to fill out numerous DA 
 > Forms (currently in the development, test, and 
 > evaluation stage) detailing their education and experience. This phase 
 > does not guarantee retired soldiers a civil service 
 > position; it does, however, guarantee that the soldier's unique 
 > capabilities will be considered before being bypassed in 
 > the hiring process. This phase of CRAP is known as Survey of Capabilities 
 > of Retired Warriors (SCREW). 
 > 
 > Soldiers who have been RAPEd and SCREWed may request review of 
their 
 > situation by higher authority. This is the 
 > Study by Higher Authority Following Termination (SHAFT) phase. 
 > 
 > CRAP policy dictates that a soldier may be RAPEd once, SCREWed 
twice, but 
 > may be SHAFTed as many times as the 
 > Army leadership deems appropriate. 
 > 
 > If a soldier follows the above procedures, he or she will be 
entitled to
  > get Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early 
 > Severance (HERPES). As HERPES is considered a benefit payment, any 
 > soldier who gets HERPES will no longer be 
 > RAPEd or SCREWed by the Army. 
 > 
 > The Army leadership wishes to assure younger soldiers who remain 
on 
 > active duty that the Army will continue its policy 
 > of ensuring that soldiers are well trained through our Special 
High 
 > Intensity Training (SHIT) program. The Army takes 
 > pride in the amount of SHIT our soldiers receive and can boast 
that it 
 > gives its soldiers more SHIT than any other service. 
 > 
 > If a soldier feels he or she does not get enough SHIT, see your 
 > commander. Your commander is especially trained to 
 > make sure you receive all the SHIT you can stand.
