Military Service Obligation Reduction Program (MSO)

Soldiers transitioning from the Active Component (AC) are eligible to reduce their Military Service Obligation in exchange for a commitment to transition directly into a Troop Program Unit (TPU)  of the Selected Reserves (SELRES).

Why Get Out of Active Duty Early?

The Airline Industry is all about your seniority number! The sooner you get that number, the more time you will have earned at the highest tier possible as a Captain of a Mainline Airline. The earning potential at that tier is $20,000 a month*, so every month you delay, that's money lost!
*According to GlassDoor.com American Airline Captains make $345,666 a year. This number is likely based on max seniority and is a conservative average. Some may make less; others may make more
