AF Re-enlistment Window Reverts to Three Months

Air Force personnel officials are changing the re-enlistment eligibility window effective March 5. The new policy requires active-duty airmen to re-enlist within three months of their term of service expiring, which is a change from the 12-month window currently in effect. Narrowing the window will assist the Air Force with forecasting requirements for personnel programs such as selective re-enlistment bonuses, career job reservations and retraining, say officials. The policy shift is not something new, but a return to a policy in place before 2001. The eligibility window was expanded from three to 12 months during a low-retention period. Local military personnel flights have more information.
