I assume this extension talk has to do with guys who are previous retirees or are not in sanctuary. My understanding is when you are within sanctuary in this LPRP program and will reach 20 yrs AD by the 4 year limit of the program (3 yrs extended to up to 4) then you're orders would be amended in due time. I need 6 months beyond my 3 yr hitch, and several others I know are in the same boat. I double-checked on this before coming back...to assure that I wouldn't be left high and dry.

The question is--when do you step forward and ask for the extension? I guess that since I have passed the 18 yr point, I could ask for it now...but I think it is wiser to simply wait until a few months before my orders end. No use highlighting myself for a bad deal.
