Merged from US Air Force Reserves. That page was in NPOV dispute. I believe I adequately addressed the POV issues in the merge, but feel free to take another pass at it here if you disagree.

Inactive Ready Reserve

I believe the section title "Inactive Ready Reserve" should be renamed to the "Individual Ready Reserve." See Individual_Ready_Reserve.--ndyguy 16:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

changed Inactive Ready Reserve to Individual Ready Reserve--ndyguy 02:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mission

I'm changing the Mission paragraph to the one stated by their own site. I don't see this as being an issue since it's the AFRC's own Mission statement and it sums up their task. Here is the link to the facts page. [1] Revisethis (talk) 11:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retired Reserve

As a soldier who collects a pension, and was formerly a Grey Area Retiree, and before that a member of the New York Army National Guard, and before that a member of the US Army, I can say categorically that those who are waiting for their pension - the Grey Area Retirees, are assigned to the Reserve, Retired of the specific force they belong to. That is, the US Army Reserve, Retired, or the US Air Force Reserve, Retired, and get a red ID Card. When they reach 60, and gain their Pension, they are transferred to the US Army, Retired or US Air Force, Retired, and get a blue ID Card. It is only Guard or Reserve members who do not retire before 60 who go straight from the Guard or Reserve to the US Army, Retired or US Air Force Retired. Incidentally, the reason for the convoluted structure of the phrases has to do with the suffix the Member is entitled to attach to the end of their name. For example, I am SSG Cornelius Seon (US Army, Retired). SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) (talk) 13:22, 20 March 2009 (UTC) A reservist retires at age 60. I just said what you did with one sentence.[reply]

Information Request

Exactly how big is the Air Force Reserve? Is it confidential? Sorry if I come off ignorant. Ipod123432 (talk) 04:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)ipod123432[reply]

As of the March 2009 publication of the Airman Magazine Yearbook (page 10) it is 71,472 personnel strong. Is that what you were looking for?--Ndunruh (talk) 13:29, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

O-G

I tried to translate "operationally-gained" into standard English. This looks like a technical term, which would be unknown to readers not versed in the bureaucratic nuances of the United Sates Air Force. If it is important enough to be in this article, then its definition should be used here. I made a stab at doing that. Nick Beeson (talk) 09:47, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
