The b-fund contributions are like getting your own personal pilot bonus without committing to missing the hiring wave.Ĭaveats: you can't have an approved retirement or separation in the system to be eligible. HOWEVER! If you are within 3 years of separating or retiring, you can get out now for a year, earn your seniority number before this huge hiring wave peaks, drop USERRA mil leave for up to five years, come back and finish your ADSC commitment, then return to your airline as a 3/4/5/6 year guy with thousands of line numbers behind you, have a super sweet FO schedule or maybe even be able to bid for captain somewhere junior, and have years of b-plan contributions in the bank. The debt is 2 months active duty for every 1 month on hiatus, so a minimum of an extra 2 year ADSC that runs consecutively (not concurrently) with UPT ADSCs, so it will add time to your service. They pay to move you wherever, and when you come back to AD they pay to move you again.
You keep Tricare, get paid 1/15 of your monthly pay (base pay?) and hold a DD-214 while staying scrolled in the IRR.

It was originally sold to CCs as a means for women to be pregnant (which is probably why no one knows this exists) but officially it is for members to pursue "personal or professional goals" like starting a family OR hacking a seniority number with your favorite major airline. The services have been doing a TERRIBLE job advertising this, though, and I only stumbled upon it because I desperately googled "Air Force hiatus."īig picture: you can take 1 to 3 years off from active duty to do whatever you want. My experience is with the Air Force, but I believe the Navy has a similar program. Just a guess.In case you were unaware, like I was a few months ago, there's a career intermission program (CIP) alive and well in the DoD. If you're settled in at a major at the three year mark.I'm betting you won't want to return, and will just finish out in the reserves.
If you couldn't get a school which would do that, you'd have to make a decision.īut since they're offering the sabbatical ,you can give it a shot, see where you end up. That's going to be hard as an O4+, only school I can think of would be a war college degree program, most service schools for senior officers don't come with a commitment.

So if you went to a formal training school at year 4 while on active duty, and it incurred an additional 3 year commitment, then you would be protected for the full 7 years.Reservists are *almost* always exempt from the five year cumulative counter since their AD recalls generally fall under the numerous exemptions.īut a straight-up voluntary return to AD would probably not exempt the five-year counter, so as he said, you'd have to somehow incur a service obligation at the right time. For example, service commitments beyond the 5 years would extend USERRA protection. Your job rights are guaranteed for 5 years (per employer) but there are exceptions. Does not have to be "recalled" or "activated", just has to be duty, which (almost all) active duty qualifies.
