For six-year enlistees, the thresholds for automatic CJR timing are?

• A. 59 months and 67 months
• B. 35 months and 43 months
• C. 49 months and 59 months
• D. 60 months and 72 months

Answer: (A)

Automatic CJR timing for six-year enlistees is set around two concrete service-month points: 59 months and 67 months. These two thresholds create a review window that ensures the system can initiate the Career Joint Review process near the end of the five-year-year-and-some window and still have a backup point if action hasn’t been completed by the first threshold.

Why this works: the 59-month mark places the review just before the five-year milestone, giving enough lead time to process the review and make any necessary decisions before the 60-month boundary. The 67-month mark provides a fallback to ensure the automatic review happens even if earlier steps were delayed. This dual-timing approach helps keep career progression and retention decisions on track within the six-year enlistment cycle.
