service, and greater than or equal to 25 years, but less than 26 years of active
military service, on 31 December 2021.

identified as 2022 SECB candidates is based on all military service reflected in

through their unit admin office and immediately notify CG PSC-EPM-1 of any
corrections.  More information regarding the SOCS process may be found at:
