Reserve officers, other than FTS, selected by a board convened after 1 Oct 1996 who may be contemplating a voluntary retirement, are subject to the following TIG requirements: Subsequently, waiver requests should be submitted with the retirement request. If the waiver request is denied, the retirement request will be returned unprocessed.

Your TIG is the amount of time served in your current temporary grade during the tour you are currently serving on active duty and is calculated from the most recent of either the "Latest Entry on Duty" date located under "General Information" on the PIR or the effective date of your last temporary grade promotion (found on your last temporary promotion personnel order in the pink section of your OPF).
