Reserve Airmen Gain Credit

Week of August 18, 2008

Reserve Airmen can now nominate themselves for joint experience credit at the Joint Qualification System (JQS) website. JQS includes a grandfather clause permitting retroactive point credit dating back to Oct. 1, 1986, for Reserve component officers and Sept. 11, 2001, for active-duty officers. To progress through the four levels of joint qualification, officers must complete the required joint education and fulfill the criterion of either the standard path or the experience path. Typically within two weeks of a Reserve officer self-nominating for joint credit, ARPC officials review the application and collect supporting documentation.
