WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air Force officials released details on
the fiscal year 2016 Selective Re-enlistment Bonus program Feb. 1. This year’s
program, consisting of 117 Air Force specialties eligible to receive bonuses,
is a substantial increase from the previous year’s program where 40 Air Force
specialty codes were eligible.
The program’s expansion coincides with Air Force plans to
grow the force to meet mission demands in the face of changing geopolitical
situations, and to address key gaps in nuclear, maintenance, cyber,
intelligence, remotely piloted aircraft and support career fields through
fiscal 2017.
According to Col. Robert Romer, the chief of military force
policy for the Air Force, the criteria used to determine career fields eligible
for re-enlistment bonuses includes current and projected manning levels,
re-enlistment trends, career field force structure changes, career field stress
levels, and the cost levels associated with training new Airmen.
“This year’s SRB list increased by nearly threefold as we
focused on retaining key experience while continuing our deliberate plan to
grow our force,” Romer said. “We are increasing our accessions and training
pipeline to support the increased growth, but these new enlistees won’t be
seasoned for some time. Retaining the experience we have is critical to our
success in reaching target end strength.”
All AFSC bonus changes are effective Feb. 1, 2016.
