🚨 EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY 🚨

AFI 36-2671, SkillBridge Program has been published.
Key Changes to Air Force SkillBridge
The most significant change to the Air Force SkillBridge program is the introduction of a tiered structure that limits the program's length based on an Airman's rank. This change is effective immediately.

Duration Eligible Ranks
120 Days E-1 to E-5 & O-1 to O-3
90 Days E-6 to E-7, WO to CWO-3, & O-4
60 Days E-8 to E-9, CWO-4 to CWO-5, & O-5

- Effective Date: The policy changes are in effect immediately.
- Existing Approvals: Applications that were fully approved before the publication of the new policy (AFI 36-2671) are not affected by these new length requirements.
- Pending Applications: Any application not fully approved at the time of the new policy's publication will now fall under the new tiered structure.
- Colonels (O-6): Participation for Colonels requires an exception-to-policy approval.
- Commander's Authority: Commanders retain the authority to modify previously approved applications if necessary.

Your AFVEC account will have an update later today with information about how a shutdown affects Tuition Assistance (TA). Please give the system time to have this information available. You may also want to reach out to your school so that you know their policies for TA students during a shutdown.
