Effective 1 Sep 2006, most of the transactional work related to the SRP and CJR process will no longer be performed by the MPF.
2: QUESTION: When am I eligible to apply for a CJR?
Answer: If you are a 4-year enlistee then you may apply for a CJR on the
1st duty day of the month in which you complete 35 months on your current
enlistment, but no later than the last day of the month in which you complete 43
months on your current enlistment.
If you are a 6-year enlistee then you may apply for a CJR on the 1st duty day of
the month in which you complete 59 months on your current enlistment but no
later than the last duty day of the month in which you complete 67 months on
your current enlistment.
3: QUESTION: How do I apply for a CJR?
Answer: Contact or visit your servicing MPF, Career Enhancements section
upon entering your CJR window to apply. You will need to complete an
AF Form
545 (Request for Career Job Reservation).
UPDATE: Starting 1 Sep 06, members no longer need to complete an AF IMT 545 (CJR request), unless they desire a CJR in their secondary AFSC or have special circumstances.
4:QUESTION: If I request a CJR does that mean I am
staying in the Air Force?
Answer: No, but in order to reenlist, you must first have an approved
CJR. You may always cancel your CJR and elect separation.
5: QUESTION: What is meant by a constrained AFSC list?
Answer: This is a list of overmanned AFSCs and Air Force has established
a CJR quota limiting the number of first term Airmen that can reenlist in those
AFSCs.
6. QUESTION: Do all AFSCs have a CJR quota?
Answer: No, Air Force only establishes CJR quota(s) for AFSCs placed on
the constrained list.
7. QUESTION: How does the CJR waiting list affect me?
Answer: If your AFSC is on the constrained list and you do not receive an
approved CJR when you first applied, your name will be placed on a CJR waiting
list. You will compete monthly for available quota(s), using a quality
rank-order process during your CJR window with final consideration during the
5th month prior to your date of separation.
8. QUESTION: What are the rank-order factors used to
determine who gets a CJR or my standing on the waiting list?
Answer: The rank order factors are UIF, last three EPRs, grade, projected
grade, date of rank, TAFMSD and date of birth.
9. QUESTION: Can I apply for retraining while requesting for
a CJR?
Answer: Yes, you can apply for retraining as soon as you enter your CJR
window (see question 2 above). We highly encourage individuals
to apply for retraining while on the CJR waiting list competing monthly for
available quota(s). The sooner you apply for retraining, the better your chances
in getting one of your top choices.
10. QUESTION: If I don’t want to get a CJR or request
retraining, can I ask to separate from the Air Force earlier than my established
date of separation?
Answer: No, you still have to serve on active duty until your current
date of separation. If you elect to separate, we encourage you to continue
serving the military with the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, or through
military civilian employment. Contact your Military Personnel Flight for more
information.
11. QUESTION: Where can I find out what career fields are on
the constrained AFSC list and what are the available quota(s) for each AFSC?
Answer: You can view the current constrained AFSC list and quota(s) on
the Career Job Reservation web page.
12. QUESTION: How do I find out my standing on the CJR
Waiting List?
Answer: Contact your MPF Reenlistment Office, they will have copy of the
CJR waiting list and can advise you on your available options.
13. QUESTION: Does my CJR date change if I extend?
Answer: No, your CJR date is based on your original enlistment. For
4 year enlistments, the month before your 3rd year and for 6 year enlistments,
the month before your 5th year.
14. QUESTION: Do I need to apply for a CRJ?
Answer: That really depends on your situation. Starting 1 Sep 06, members
no longer need to complete an AF IMT 545 (CJR request), unless they desire a CJR
in their secondary AFSC or have special circumstances (see paragraph 7). After
the Airman has been considered for reenlistment under the SRP, the system will
automatically request a CJR upon entering the first month of their CJR window.
If approved, the Airman’s records will automatically be updated with a CJR upon
entering into their first month of the CJR window (35th month for a 4-yr
enlistee and 59th month for 6-yr enlistee) in their CAFSC provided they meet
quality force factors. If the Airman is ineligible for reenlistment when they
enter their CJR window, the system will continue to review the Airman’s records
monthly to determine if they become eligible at a later date, and will request a
CJR at that time.
