I pondered it long and hard, using every day of the 60-day time period to decide. One of the factors was that the responsible officer at MPF told me very clearly my 31 May 2012 date was still a mandatory retirement and there would be no penalty for declining the additional continuation.
Got written documentation of this? If not (as I suspect), you're screwed. Read the continuation paperwork you signed too. I doubt it even addresses ADSC issues, but I don't recall exactly.

You denied continuation, rule #6 applies.
I was also a passed over Major. I read and re-read the continuation to 24 I was offered back sometime in 07 or 08. In the end, I signed it as it didn't obligate me to stay until 24, only allowed me to stay until 24. I couldn't possibly see a problem there. I called AFPC as well, just to verify I was reading it correctly. I asked the local MPF as well (talked to the Chief in the office). I signed it and I just retired at 20y4m...I did not stay until 24.
My bonus coincided with my 20yr, so wasn't an issue for me. However, I have at least one friend who was glad of the 24 yr option so he wouldn't have to pay back his bonus. Seemed to us at the time that it didn't absolve you of your bonus obligations.
I will concede that yours may not have been worded as ours were.
