STOP LOSS Message
ATKTK,
The 60-Day review is in this message from the AF/DP in paragraph 2. I submitted another retirement application two weeks ago and it's in the wickets. I'm sure it'll be approved pending the end of STOP LOSS. Best wishes to all.
FIRST...FLY THE AIRCRAFT !

UNCLAS
1. FOLLOWING AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW BY MAJCOMS, AIR RESERVE COMPONENTS, AND FUNCTIONALS, THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE FOR MANPOWER AND RESERVE AFFAIRS, PPROVED THE RELEASE FROM STOP LOSS OF 24 OFFICER AND 40 ENLISTED AFSCS. A NUMBER OF FACTORS WENT INTO THIS DECISION, TO INCLUDE ONGOING AND FUTURE AEF REQUIREMENTS, OPERATIONS NOBLE EAGLE AND ENDURING FREEDOM HOMELAND DEFENSE NEEDS FOR THE NEW STEADY STATE ENVIRONMENT, AND AIR RESERVE COMPONENT MOBILIZATION.
2. THOUGH WE REMAIN FOCUSED ON ENSURING OUR FORCE CAN MEET ITS ONE/OEF REQUIREMENTS, WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WE MUST BEGIN TO RETURN THE TOTAL FORCE TO A MORE NORMAL STATE. THE GRADUAL RELEASE OF AFSCS PUTS US ON THAT GLIDE SLOPE. SINCE THIS IS A VERY DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT, WE WILL CONTINUE TO REVIEW THE STOP LOSS PROGRAM EVERY 60 DAYS AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDINGLY. IF WORLD EVENTS CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY, WE WILL RE-EVALUATE STOP LOSS DECISIONS IMMEDIATELY.
3. ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENT MEMBERS, NOT MOBILIZED OR DEPLOYED, IN THE FOLLOWING DESIGNATED AFSCS AND WHO HAVE AN APPROVED ETS/DOS/DOR MAY BE ALLOWED TO SEPARATE/RETIRE NET 1 MAR 02.

THOSE PERSONNEL WHO HAVE AN AFSC ON THE RELEASE LIST, BUT ARE DEPLOYED OR MOBILIZED, TO INCLUDE RESERVE COMPONENT MEMBERS ACTIVATED IN-PLACE, WILL BE ALLOWED TO SELECT A SEPARATION DATE NET 30 DAYS AFTER RETURN FROM DEPLOYMENT, DEMOBILIZATION OR DEACTIVATION. MEMBERS RELEASED FROM STOP LOSS WILL BE AFFORDED SUFFICIENT TRANSITION TIME, INCLUDING TIME TO COMPLETE NECESSARY TRAVEL, COMPLETE MEDICAL EVALUATION IF REQUIRED, AND USE ACCRUED LEAVE IF DESIRED BY THE MEMBER. COMMANDERS OF MOBILIZED/ACTIVATED RESERVE
COMPONENT MEMBERS WITH THE SPECIFIED AFSCS, WHO ARE OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE FOR SEPARATION OR RETIREMENT AND WHO HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED, SHOULD GIVE CONSIDERATION TO REQUESTING THEIR DEACTIVATION UPON RETURN FROM DEPLOYMENT.

5. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT PERSONNEL REMAINING UNDER STOP LOSS MAY CONTINUE TO APPLY FOR SEPARATION/RETIREMENT THROUGH THE WAIVER PROCESS. IN
ADDITION, STRONG CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO WAIVER REQUESTS FROM HYT PERSONNEL.
