I was wondering how long is the time on station requirement after a PCS before you are tasked for a deployment? What is the AFI reference? And is it different for individuals who have EFMP dependents? Been searching and can’t seem to find it although I remember there being a TOS criteria.

Edit: I really appreciate the responses that I have gotten so far however unless you have a joint reference such as a DoD regulation I’m looking for Air Force knowledge with regulation. I know that there are some things that are across the branches but other things are branch specific.

And yes I have already used Google. Currently digging through multiple AFIs but if anyone knows a specific reference that would be helpful. Thanks.

Once you are out of the reception unit and inside your duty station unit you’re fair game

local policy may dictate otherwise so check with commander Policies at the battalion and brigade and division level
