SROTC Advanced Training Counts Towards Officer Service Length
This bill aims to change how military service length is calculated for individuals commissioned as officers after completing the Senior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (SROTC) advanced training program. The time spent in the SROTC program will now be included in the total length of service, potentially benefiting their retirement eligibility and promotions. This is a significant change for enlisted members transitioning to the officer corps through this specific program.
Key points
The period of advanced training in the SROTC program will be included in the computation of an officer's total length of service in the Armed Forces.
This change applies to officers appointed based on satisfactorily completing SROTC requirements, regardless of the component in which they performed their enlisted service.
Including this service time may accelerate eligibility for retirement or promotion, directly benefiting service members utilizing the Green to Gold Program.
