You may request a retirement effective date of the 1st day of the month following your DER<strong>OS</strong>,<br />
but you may not apply for retirement more than 12 months before the requested retirement date.<br />
If you want to retire from the overseas area, but want to do so at a later date, you must request a<br />
DER<strong>OS</strong> extension through the DER<strong>OS</strong> Forecast process, get it approved, and then request a<br />
retirement date to be effective the 1 st day of the month following your DER<strong>OS</strong> date.<br />
If you are retirement eligible but did not apply for voluntary retirement and you do not have<br />
sufficient retainability for CONUS PCS, then you will be involuntarily extended in the overseas<br />
area. Your DER<strong>OS</strong> will match your D<strong>OS</strong> and actions as outlined in paragraph 4e of this handout<br />
will apply. To return to an earlier DER<strong>OS</strong> requires a curtailment of overseas tour and must be<br />
processed as an exception to policy to HQ AFPC/DPAPP, in accordance with AFI 36-2110,<br />
paragraph 1.5. with strong justification. If you are HYT restricted and cannot obtain CONUS PCS<br />
retainability, you should request counseling through the MPS, Career Development Element. For<br />
colonels and selectees with questions regarding retirement or separation procedures, please contact<br />
AF/DPO.
