Pilots who accepted either the Voluntary Separation Incentive, Special Separation Benefit or Early Retirement aren't eligible for this program. Those meeting eligibility criteria will meet a recall board at AFPC to determine if they are accepted for recall or accession to extended active duty. If accepted, officers will receive an offer for EAD with assignment options. The first selection board will be held at the end of March. Subsequent boards will be held if needed.
Members coming back on active duty receive a two-year active duty service commitment.
Weapon system training ADSCs vary from three years for requalification training to five years for initial qualification. The normal four-year commitment for EAD is waived for this program. The service also has a voluntary pilot recall program under way which is primarily looking for approximately 100 fighter pilots for fiscal 1996.
