The Air Force has announced the expansion of voluntary officer separation measures for fiscal 2012 as part of the service's ongoing force-management initiatives. The FY12 Officer 10-8 Commission Waiver Program allows eligible officers in certain categories to retire with reduced active commissioned service. The Time-in-Grade Waiver Program is offered to lieutenant colonels in certain competitive categories or specialties. The FY12 PALACE CHASE program provides additional active duty service commitment waiver authority for lieutenant colonels and below in select Air Force specialties to facilitate transfer from active-duty service to an Air Reserve Component. For more information on these force management programs, visit the Air Force Personnel Services website.
