Air Force announces new SRB list Published March 30, 2004 WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Bluesuiters will see significant changes in the newly released selective re-enlistment bonus list resulting from solid retention rates, Pentagon officials said.Following the selective re-enlistment review board, the Air Force has published the latest SRB list which contains 62 Air Force specialties."The SRB program is a retention tool the Air Force uses as an incentive to help keep the right people in the right jobs to accomplish our mission," said Senior Master Sgt. Maria Cornelia, chief of retention and bonus programs at Air Force headquarters here.“During this period of improved retention, it is prudent to make adjustments,” she said. “Airmen should remember that SRBs are not an entitlement and must be adjusted to meet Air Force needs.” All enlisted skills were reviewed, including reporting and special-duty identifiers, officials said.The criteria used for determining which enlisted skills will receive an SRB include current and projected manning levels, re-enlistment trends, career-field force structure changes and inputs from individual career-field managers. SRBs are authorized in 0.5 increments, or multiples, and in three re-enlistment zones for people with between 17 months and 14 years of service.Zone A, which applies to Airmen re-enlisting between 17 months and six years of service, incurred nine increases, 19 reductions and 86 removals. Zone B, which applies to Airmen re-enlisting between six and 10 years of service, had eight increases, 18 reductions and 80 removals. Zone C, which applies to Airmen re-enlisting between 10 and 14 years of service, saw one increase, four decreases and 32 removals. Additions and multiple increases are effective March 30. The SRB multiple decreases and deletions are effective April 30. For more information, contact local military personnel flight re-enlistment offices.
