The Air Force has decided to extend the deadline for officers to apply for Voluntary Separation Pay to May 31, just a couple of weeks after making the cutoff March 31. The service still plans to hold a Reduction in Force board in June, targeting officers in overage career fields in 1995, 1996, 2000, and 2001.
The Air Force has drastically reduced the number of eligible career fields for Active-Duty Airmen seeking reenlistment bonuses in 2026, going from 89 to 24.
