Changes Sweeten 'Re-Up' Bonuses

The Air Force changed the reenlistment window and waived obligated service requirements for Airmen in two career fields eligible to receive the enlisted critical skills retention bonus. Airmen who meet requirements may qualify for a retention bonus of up to $150,000. The reenlistment window now allows CSRB-eligible Airmen to reenlist at any time. The changes will remain in effect until Dec. 31, 2007.

The program is open to technical sergeants and above with:

  1. at least 19 years of service, but not more than 24 years of service;
  2. a controlled AFSC of 1C2X1, combat control; or 1T2X1, pararescue; and
  3. a willingness to commit to serving two to six years.

For more information, eligible Airmen should contact their local military personnel flight reenlistments section or commander's support staff.
