How long does an Airmen have before he is eligible for re-deployment back to Iraq after a 6 mo. tour in Iraq?

Question

I know that Army has a rule where if you serve a year in Iraq, you get a year of downtime back in the states. Is the rules kind of similar for the Air Force?

Answer 1

The AF is set of an AEF cycle. It is supposed to be that after a deployment you are home for 15 months. This will all prob be changing soon seeing how we are soon going to 6 month deployments instead of 4 months.

Again this is how it is supposed to work. I just got home from being away for a year in Korea and I am now getting ready to leave and head to the desert...
