Policy Delays Some Promotions
Week of January 28, 2008
Starting this year, policy changes will result in some Air Force Reserve officers having to wait longer before becoming eligible for promotion. Starting with the October, 2008 board, lieutenant colonels will now be required to serve four or more years' time in grade before meeting the colonel board. Promotion boards will look at the records of majors and captains only once, at the five-year, time-in-grade point. Other policy changes recently implemented discontinue selective continuation for lieutenant colonels beyond 28 years commissioned service, combine reserve categories into one promotion board and reduce the retirement time in grade requirement for colonels from three years to two years.
