RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- Qualified special operations officers are now eligible for a maximum of $100,000 in critical skills retention bonus money if they voluntarily extend their active-duty service commitment for up to four years.
The bonuses are due in part to a $2.5 million deposit from Department of Defense officials.
"The consistently high demand for our limited number of combat rescue and special tactics officers makes it crucial that we retain as many as of these seasoned officers as possible on active duty," said Maj. J.T. Goodson, the chief of airfield operations, special tactics and combat rescue assignments at the Air Force Personnel Center here. "These officers have experience and skills that we simply can't afford to lose."
Recognizing the additional necessity to retain those nearing retirement, Air Force officials included a provision in the critical skills retention bonus that allows those who are less than four years from mandatory retirement to incur a two- or three-year active duty service commitment.
