The USAF Prior Service program is a direct duty assignment program that allows select individuals to return to active duty. Candidates must hold an AFSC, MOS, or NEC, which will qualify or convert to an Air Force Specialty. Contact an Air Force Recruiter, who is the best source of information regarding the program.
