From the article:
"The Air Force directive listed four requirements for its airmen to remain in deployable status:
Meet individual medical readiness standards, to include medical, dental and physical components.
Be able to execute the wartime mission requirements of their respective career fields, to include technical, educational and physical proficiency.
Be current on the Air Force Fitness Assessment.
Be considered a satisfactory participant in Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard duties, if applicable."
That just tells me what it takes to be deployable.
What are the reasons for people to claim non-deployment status? Religion? Family matters? Other than health concerns.................
Looks like this will be a tool to push out some people that need some direction and a shove.
