Applicants currently under the MSR incurred upon commissioning or an ADSO must have an MSR or ADSO end date prior to April 2020. (3) AvB/ACCP. Aviation officers with obligated service as a result of AvB/ACCP are eligible to apply if the officer will be within 12 months of completing AvB/ACCP obligation at the time the board convenes. Additionally, aviation officers with obligated service as a result of AvB/ACCP are eligible to apply if the officer will be within 12 months of department head tour PRD at the time the board convenes. Redesignation immediately following a department head tour may result in cancellation of AvB, which will be adjudicated by Aviation Officer Assignments (PERS-43). (4) Failure of Selection (FOS).
