For Non-Rated/Non-CEA/Jumpers personnel, what is the maximum number of days a DOWN 2992 may be filed in suspense before action is taken?

• A. 180 days
• B. 365 days
• C. 90 days
• D. 540 days

Answer: (A)

Suspense actions set a deadline for completing required processing. For Non-Rated/Non-CEA/Jumpers personnel, the policy limits how long a DOWN 2992 can stay in suspense before action is taken to 180 days. This timeframe balances giving enough processing time with the need to keep records current and readiness intact. It ensures someone reviews and advances the case rather than letting it linger. If the 180-day limit is reached, steps should be taken to finalize, escalate, or document a justified extension with the proper approvals. The other options would either push the deadline too far, risking delays and accountability, or be too short to accommodate typical processing needs for these personnel.
