(USAF) Civillian Deferral w/o Matching

[RandumbmilDO]

Quick question, and maybe I'm not adept enough at using the search function, but it doesn't seem that this has been asked on this forum before. If you are selected for a civilian deferred slot but fail to match, what happens? Are you forced to SOAP or are you placed in a transitional year? Any info is greatly appreciated.

You get out for free. It's a huge loophole.



No, I dunno what happens. Transitional year? GMO?

Is it possible that you'd be required to SOAP?

You try and SOAP, but if you can't find a spot they'll match you into a vacancy irrespective of your preference. I know in the Navy that's usually IM that they can't fill.
