Airmen Get Unrestricted Re-enlistment CJRs

By: fedweek

Air Force officials announced that fiscal 2008 started without any restrictions on first-term Career Job Reservations (CJRs) for enlisted specialties. During most years airmen compete for a limited number of jobs within their Air Force specialty codes, but this year Air Force officials expect to meet enlisted authorized end strength through normal attrition. Thus, all first-term airmen selected by their commanders as eligible to re-enlist under the Selective Reenlistment Program will receive a CJR once they enter the first month of their reenlistment eligibility window. Enlistment extensions will have no impact on an airman’s CJR eligibility window. Eligibility windows are 35-38 months for National Call to Service enlistees, 35-43 months for four-year enlistees and 59-67 months for six-year enlistees. The CJR program will remain unrestricted unless Air Force officials need to make enlisted force adjustments to meet authorized strength levels.
