date on or before 31 March 2023 are eligible to submit a request to 
their detailer to have their separation or retirement date delayed 
and projected rotation date (PRD) extended, up to 30 September 2023, 
if the billet they are in upon submission of the request will be 
gapped upon their departure.  Requests to extend beyond 30 September 
2023 will be considered on a case by case basis for expected gaps in 
operational billets. 
    b.  All Service members interested in extending retirements are 
invited to apply to their PERS-40 detailer to have their PRD 
extended no later than 90 days prior to the start of their

basis.

who are in billets that are eligible for Sea Duty Incentive Pay 
(SDIP), and who are approved for a voluntary extension that exceeds 
their prescribed sea tour by at least 12 months, will receive SDIP. 
        (2) Exceptions to the timeline to request SDIP and to the
