First term Airmen receive selective reenlistment consideration when they are within ____ months of their expiration of term of service.

• A. 12 months
• B. 15 months
• C. 18 months
• D. 24 months

Answer: (B)

Selective reenlistment is the process the Air Force uses to identify first-term Airmen who should be reviewed for reenlistment options before their current term ends. For these Airmen, the window to be considered begins when they are within 15 months of their expiration of term of service. This timing provides enough lead time to review performance, determine manpower needs, and complete the reenlistment process if appropriate, without forcing decisions too close to ETS or too far in advance. Being within 15 months ensures a smooth planning cycle for both the member and the unit.
