Within how many months after the original expiration of term of service are second term and career Airmen with less than 19 years of total active federal military service considered for selective reenlistment?

• A. 13 months
• B. 9 months
• C. 18 months
• D. 24 months

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is the timeframe in which selective reenlistment is considered for a specific group of Airmen. For second-term and career Airmen who have less than 19 years of total active federal service, the eligibility window to be considered for selective reenlistment starts after the original expiration of their term of service and lasts up to 13 months. This 13-month window gives enough lead time for processing, counseling, and aligning reenlistment with career plans and unit needs, while still keeping the decision timely for manpower planning. The other timeframes don’t align with this policy for this group—the 13-month window is the standard period defined for consideration.
