BDGR do you know if the 5 year sanctuary still applies if one transfers from AD to FTS/SELRES? Are they still protected?
While it is true that the current sourcing solutions only put SELRES 131X/132X officers into those requirements, there is zero guarantee that you will be doing anything aviation related. I could go on for hours about how broken this system is but suffice it to say there is a better than avg chance that you will do nothing aviation related even though the requirement is for an aviation designator. Example: My original orders were to be the chief, air operations at a CJIATF HQ in Kabul. I ended up being an LNO to ISAF for all things detentions.
AD to FTS, to my knowledge do not receive a deferment, but I could be wrong. AD to SELRES is 2 yr deferment. You will receive 5:1 deferment if you mobilize (e.g. MOB for 1 yr, you get 5 yrs before being IN LAR to MOB again).
