10AFI36-3209 14 APRIL 2005Chapter 1ADMINISTRATIVE SEPARATION OF ANG AND AIR FORCE RESERVE MEMBERSNOT ON EXTENDED ACTIVE DUTY (EAD)Section 1A—General Instructions1.1. General Instructions. Membership in the ANG or United States Air Force Reserve(USAFR) is not an individual's inherent right. Membership is a privilege that confers anobligation to serve in the active military service during mobilization or emergency, or at suchtime as national security may require. Members not qualified or not able to properly fulfill theirobligation to serve may be separated or discharged from the ANG or USAFR. Individualsdischarged for any reason outlined in this instruction cease to be members of the ANG orUSAFR. Upon discharge, except for immediate reenlistment, members will be notified of thepurpose and authority of the Discharge Review Board. The member's failure to receive or tounderstand this information does not invalidate member's discharge or the characterization ofservice received.1.2. Applicability and Scope. This instruction applies to all officer and enlisted members notserving on EAD or active duty with the Regular Air Force. Chapter 5 applies to the RetiredReserve not receiving retired pay. It does not apply to personnel who receive a militaryretirement under Title 10 U.S.C., Section 12731, 8911, 8914, or members entitled by law todisability retired pay based on military status. Recalled retired members (who are not receivingpay) are subject to this instruction if they are removed from retired status and returned to anactive status.1.2.1. Former Members. Previous policy allowed Air Force Reserve members who chosedischarge instead of transfer to the Retired Reserve to be reappointed or reenlisted for thepurpose of transfer to the Retired Reserve anytime prior to age 60. These members becameeligible for partial use of some benefits prior to age 60, and upon attainment of age 60, theywere eligible for full benefits whether they were reaffiliated or not. This criterion haschanged. Members who are discharged today, instead of retired, will not be allowed toreaffiliate and will only be entitled to retired pay and medical care at age 60. These formermembers and their eligible family members will be issued the DD Form 1173, UniformService Identification and Privilege Card, on the member's 60th birthday. All memberswho are eligible for transfer to the Retired Reserve and choose discharge must be formallycounseled concerning this policy and its effects on their benefits.1.3.
