Pentagon officials recently released the latest selective re-enlistment bonus list which contains 91 Air Force specialties.

The revised listing places a greater emphasis on retaining Airmen with 17 months to six years of service, said Tech. Sgt. Christopher Dowlearn, NCO in charge of Air Force re-enlistments at the Air Force Personnel Center here.

"SRBs are a highly effective retention tool we use to address shortages in certain skill sets we consider necessary to support the joint coalition fight and our mission at home and abroad," Sergeant Dowlearn said.

Officials added 10 Air Force specialty codes to the list and increased 31 AFSCs in at least one zone. Thirty AFSCs had a zone eliminated or decreased and two AFSCs were completely removed from the program.

All increases and additions were effective Nov. 4 and all decreases and deletions will go into effect Dec. 4. Any re-enlistments or extensions of any length that have been completed prior to the official message release will remain valid. Airmen who are eligible for re-enlistment and are affected by decreases or removals should re-enlist before Dec. 4 to receive the previously approved bonus.

These bonuses do not apply to Air Force Reserve or National Guard personnel.

To determine eligibility for re-enlistment with an SRB entitlement, contact the career development element at your local military personnel section.
