I'm pretty sure it's on time served up until your exit date. I think the previous tranches required you to have achieved certain rank groups in trade/branch and a minimum years of sevice to qualify to apply.
There is however, no talk of offering redundencies at the moment. It would be foolish to think that it may not be necessary though because if the cutbacks are half as bad as reported/required, there will be far too many servicemen and women to operate/maintain/support the hardware that is left.
