The new Air Force Career Intermission Program (CIP) provides active-duty and career status Active Guard and Reserve Airmen the opportunity for a one-time temporary transition from active-duty to the Individual Ready Reserve for up to three years to meet personal or professional needs outside the service while also providing a mechanism for a seamless return to active duty. Program participants sign an agreement which states 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.
