Air Force Veteran Information
The following information is provided for individuals who have served in the United States Air Force and have retired or separated from service.
COMBAT-RELATED SPECIAL COMPENSATION
Combat-Related Special Compensation was created to offset the reduction in military retirement pay for veterans who receive Department of Veterans Affairscompensation for service-connected disabilities. In June 2003, Congress enacted the program to restore that offset pay when the veteran's disabilities are combat-related. Click here for more information on Combat-Related Special Compensation.

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS (AFBCMR)
The Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) is the highest level of administrative review within the Department of the Air Force. Unless procured by fraud, a decision is final and conclusive on all officers of the United States. Click here to find more information.
AIR FORCE RETIREE SERVICES
The Air Force Retiree Services website offers the retiree family in-depth information on the Survivor Benefit Plan, plus a list of Air Force Retiree Activities Offices worldwide and various other resources. There are also sections dedicated to the Afterburner and Air Force Retiree News Service.
SPECIAL SELECTION BOARDS
The Defense Officer Personnel Management Act established special selection boards effective Sept. 15, 1981. Officers who have since retired or separated are considered provided they meet all board requirements. U.S. law gives military services the authority to reconvene boards to consider officers for promotion, regular Air Force appointment, professional military education, selective early retirement, reduction-in-force and/or selective continuation.
