Comptroller General of the United States WasahgWtn, D.C 20548 Decision Matter of: Selective Reenlistment Bonus - Early Separation and Immediate Reenlistment File: B-230360 Date: November 9, 1990 DIGEST Under an Air Force early separation program a group of first- term enlisted members were released up to 5 months before their enlistments expired. Since these members were entirely free to separate from the service, their previously obligated service may be regarded as having been terminated. Therefore, when such a member reenlists immediately rather than separates from the service, the full period of the member's reenlistment may be counted as additional obligated service under 37 U.S.C. § 308(a) (1) for the purpose of computing the member's selective reenlistment bonus. DECISION This decision concerns an Air Force program to release a specified group of airmen early from their enlistments to reduce the number of personnel on active duty. Certain of the airmen were allowed to immediately reenlist thereafter, and the Air Force asks whether the unserved periods of their initial enlistments may be counted as additional obligated service in computing their selective reenlistment bonuses.l/ For the reasons discussed below, we find that the full period of these airmen's reenlistment may be counted as additional obligated service. Under the Air Force early separation program involved here, a specified group of first-term enlisted members was involuntarily released from active duty up to 5 months prior to the expiration of their enlistments to alleviate shortages 1/ The request for decision was made by the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) and was approved by the Department of Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee and assigned submission number SS-AF-1480. 05c-o / 1 I-OR M A Al
