Hi
I'm trying to find out how exactly active service is defined. I tried calling my afco today but they were busy.
For example, I was looking at ugas, and if I remember correctly in the conditions it was claimed that 3 and a half years of active service on a submarine was required after training. My question is - does this literally mean you need to accrue 3 1/2 years of total time on a submarine at sea, or just 3 1/2 years in service (excluding holidays)?
Due to the wording I believed it was the former, but my uncle insists it would be just 3 1/2 years from the day you go to raleigh. He's never worked in the military nor does he know anyone who does, but he has confused me now and I can't find any answer to this.
