After time in the IRR and a reclass, how do I get mistakes on my ERB and orders corrected?

Question. I am prior service Army (National Guard) that completed my orginial contract, ETS'd still in IRR then re enlisted to active duty. I re classed from 11B to another MOS as well. I am still in training at this point and my ERB has been wiped clear of any schools and info pertinent to my time in the military. I have managed to get a good portion of my ERB back up to date but I am still running into a few issues. First, my unit S1 is telling me they can not put my PMOS as 11b due to "break in service." I find this hard to believe as I was still IRR when I re enlisted and MOS qualified. Second, my orders from MEPS state the correct rank but my orders from my training site phase 1 location and training site phase two location state I am PV2...I attempted to contact HRC with no answer via email, who do I need to get in contact with to fix this? Thank you for your time.

Until you graduate from your current MOS training, your PMOS is still 11B so I'm not sure why the S1 would tell you that. The break in service hold no matter. I know this because I had a break in service (5.5 years) and when I came back in and until I graduated from my new MOS school, my PMOS was 68W (as that was the last MOS I held before getting out). As for your orders, you will need to talk with S1 and have your orders taking you to Phase 2 amended to read the correct rank. Worst case scenario for your ERB is to have all your documents ready and attempt to have it corrected again when you get to Phase 2 and/or your permanent assignment. But honestly, your S1 can easily fix all this..........if they want to do the work.

I retired in 1999 so this might be dated, when you are in training to obtain a new MOS, your PMOS is reflected as the new MOS with a 00 suffix. (i.e 88M00). This allows for effective personnel management. Personnel with the 00 suffix were managed by AIT branch for their follow on assignments, schools, etc. until they received their new MOS. Whereas, if they left your PMOS as 11B in the system you would be managed by Infantry branch.

Once you graduate AIT, bring copies of everything missing to your S1. They are able to correct ERBs.

Don't worry about fixing your ERB until you get to your new unit. Unless you have a school that would effect your assignment, like airborne, it's irrelevant. The Army doesn't care about your secondary MOS and your primary MOS is being managed because you're in training.
Once you get to your unit you can get most of this fixed. As for your rank, as long as you are being paid as the correct rank, what the MEPS orders state is also irrelevant.
You will probably need to get a date of rank adjustment when you get to your next unit as well.

You received great advice. When you meet with your S1, bring a copy of your NGB-23 with you, along with the last retirement point worksheet. This will help in the corrections and ensuring any active duty time you earned in the Guard is accounted for.
