The Air Force has announced high year of tenure (HYT) limit changes for the grades of senior airman, staff sergeant and technical sergeant that go into effect in 2013. High year of tenure limits for senior airman will be reduced from 10 years to eight years; staff sergeant 20 years to 15 years; and technical sergeant 22 years to 20 years. This change to policy will not affect Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard members. For more information about high year of tenure limits, visit the Air Force Personnel Services website. Information on programs for separating Airmen is available from unit first sergeants or at local airman and family readiness centers.
