Navy's always been 20 as far as I remember. Don't recall any navy O4's getting HYT'ed before 20 (RIFFed, yes, HYT no).

Academy grads and ROTC DG's are given regular commisions. The rest are Reserve commisions. Usually after 5 or so years, your regular comission will be upgraded to regular.

OTS commissions are regular as well.

I know that no one commissioning source is more protected from another nor more vulnerable for that matter. As far as separations, as mentioned AFPC has seemed to start w/ waiving committments for overmanned career fields and year groups, then through money at it, then had boards to reduce (so far the boards in AF have been for LTs). My wife took the VSP last year. For a current view of AFPC's idea of what is over and under manned, check out this website. http://ask.afpc.randolph.af.mil/forc...icerMatrix.xls

There's also more info at http://ask.afpc.randolph.af.mil/Site...ty_Officer.asp under Force Shaping - which is the new name for RIFs.

They did away with the regular/reserve thing last year. Everyone is regular now.

Every officer in the AF gets a regular commission now when they enter service. Older guys/gals get regular commissions when they meet O-4 board if not already given a regular in the past. Everyone, including regular commissions, can be RIFd.
