A Battalion Commander is an O5 with probably 16-20 years. If they are being administratively seperated, some could lose their retirement if they are under 18 years service. 18-20 it's up to Sec Army whether they do or not.

Also if you got selected for BN CDR your odds of getting promoted to Colonel were pretty darn high which means those two idiots just threw away literally millions long term even if they can retire as an O5.
