New Palace Chase?
A lot of pilots, myself included, got to the air reserve component (ARC e.g. guard+reserve) via a program called palace chase. That programs let you leave REGAF 6 months early if you joined an ARC unit.
This new program lets you go earlier (1 yr) but with more payback; option 2 is definately targeted at folks who have…
