How many years of total active federal military service on date of discharge must selected Airmen have to be reenlisted for an unspecified period?

• A. 12 years
• B. 10 years
• C. 8 years
• D. 15 years

Answer: (A)

Total active federal military service on discharge must reach twelve years for an airman to reenlist for an unspecified period. This level of experience ensures the Air Force can offer an open-ended commitment to someone with substantial time in active duty, balancing the service’s needs with the member’s career stability. The twelve-year threshold is counted from the start of active duty to the discharge date, representing the experience gained during that period. If an airman has fewer than twelve years, an unspecified-term reenlistment isn’t available; a reenlistment would be for a defined term instead.
