What does SABE mean
Jeff, complete and up to date RFAS codes here:
https://www.public.navy.mil/nrh/Navy%20Reserve%20Personnel%20Manual%20RESPERMAN/1000-010%20(RUAD%20Codes).pdf
SABE means one thing for Enlisted, but means something different for Officers. I am sure you will figure it out from the PDF listed above.
Actually asking again what SABE means for an officer billet in RFMT (APPLY)?
Hi Jeff,
I know ABE in SABE means that the billet must match the designator and is awarded to males or females. Not sure about the S. You may want to check with your NOSC MANPOWER Department.

Does every reserve billet have a RFAS code aligned to it?
Hi Tom,
I believe yes, every billet should have a RFAS code aligned to it. This is the way an O4 billet could be assigned to an ENS/LTJG.
