Mandatory Separation Ages Change

Week of April 23, 2007

Air Force Reserve officers, if otherwise eligible, can now stay in the service longer before reaching their mandatory separation age. In the past, brigadier generals and below had to retire or separate when they reached age 60. Now they can stay until age 62. The age for major generals rose from 62 to 64. With the approval from the secretary of the Air Force, chaplains and officers in some health professions may remain in an active status until age 67. Additionally, mandatory separation dates because of years of commissioned service restrictions have not changed. For more information, visit the Air Reserve Personnel Center's Mandatory Separations Dates webpage.
