The Air Force has changed the Career Intermission Program (CIP) to expand participation opportunities for Airmen from one application window each year to three. CIP offers Airmen the opportunity for a one-time temporary transition from active duty to the Individual Ready Reserve. Airmen with humanitarian circumstances may submit out-of-cycle CIP applications. Program participants sign an agreement that says they will return to active duty in the same component from which they separated and serve two months of active duty for every month of CIP participation.
