Limited EAD tour lengths will be 3 years and one day. NOTE: When necessary, officers are authorized initial tour lengths of less than 3 years to avoid entering active duty retirement sanctuary. In accordance with Title 10, USC 12686(b), officers may then waive sanctuary rights for subsequent active duty tours not exceeding 179 days each to allow officers to serve the minimum 3 years and one day requirement
Saw this on mypers. I know this was written for something different but may still be a way to not do the full 3 years. After the holiday break I was going to email the guy that is running the program and see what he says about it. My only concern is that I have roughly 34 months of USERRA left, and not sure if AD is considered USERRA exempt. If you need the name of the POC I can PM you the name I was given.
