Can a command just void an enlistment without a valid reason? What would cause an enlistment to be void?

TSgt (Join to see) - Well, your Reserve unit Command is smoking a fat crack pipe. I would recommend you contact your IG office due to they (your unit) are trying to nail you for fraudulent enlistment under a chapter that does not pertain to you. Just for that alone your Command is violating regulation. Or, see if your Recruiter can get a hold of someone at Recruiting Command and have them contact your unit command team to let them know that your enlistment contract is valid and legal. Or both.

MSG (Join to see) Yes exactly!! 100% agree! Like I mentioned to the CPT below, my Reserve unit Command is basically ignoring my recruiter and the Recruiting Command.
My Reserve unit hasthe Legal office and IG in their back pocket. I reached out to IG and IG said this is a "command issue" and could not get involved. They also said my enlistment was "void from its inception" and "therefore I am not entitled to any due process". But IG and my Reserve unit have not explained how my enlistment was erroneous or fraudulent but they are actively trying to nail me and void my enlistment. It doesn't make sense. I went to a recruiter, AF recruiting command approved my waiver, I took the Oath and got back in. Got a CAC card and showed up on the unit's books. How is it void??

TSgt (Join to see), from a 30K foot level, it appears that the crux of the issue your command has deals with a waiver.

I'm not sure if you want to post the details (you mentioned that you went through a waiver process), but it may be that for some reason they think you weren't honest about your past and something else came to their attention.

Since para 5.4.5.5 deals with waiver approvals for misconduct and major misconduct (yes, I know that para 5 is for officers being assessed, but since they referenced that paragraph it gives insight to the command's thinking).

If your command does not respond to you inquiries about "Why are you doing this?", then there are a few options you can pursue (I'll caveat all this with the assumption that you really have no clue why this is happening ... the other case can easily be true).

Have you actually had a face-to-face with your commander and asked him respectfully to know why this is happening and if you can possibly address the allegation? I assume he/she has signed off on the paperwork, but it might be a one-sided story.

Have you contacted a local Air Force legal office? I'm not talking about your unit JAG (which I assume you're referring to - it's hard to envision a reserve unit having the entire legal office "in their back pocket"), but an non-affiliated (to your unit) legal office.

Have you taken advantage of your higher command's open door policy with leadership? If you are being completely shut down at your unit level, then bringing it to the awareness of the higher command might dislodge something. Of course, this is a two-edged sword .. it might dislodge something if there is something that you don't want dislodged.

There are also other options (i.e., "big guns") you can use, but I would at least try the above. Face to face with your commander to try to get to the bottom of why this is occurring. If you can't get to the bottom of 'why', then going the higher command route so the question is asked to your unit "from top down" instead of "bottom up". Finally, you should contact a regional Air Force legal office to get advice instead of trusting that we RallyPointers really have a clue about what we're talking about :)

COL Randall C. Copy that, thank you for your response Sir! So I still haven't been told the "why" by my leadership but I found out that because I was involuntarily discharge previously, the command feels I should not have been allowed back in the Air Force. The issue is they haven't been able to point to an AFI reference that supports their stance. My prior discharge was due to what amounted to minor misconduct, and Recruiting command was fully aware of that. Also my previous discharge was an Honorable so with that and an approved RE waiver from HQ Recruiting command, I thought I was good to go

MSgt Allen Chandler Understood, but they are telling me my enlistment is "void" and when I ask why they cannot give me a valid reason

TSgt (Join to see) - can not give you a reason, or a reason you think is valid? let say they tell you the reason is "your too tall" you may not like it but they did give you a reason. now you have to prove "that" reason is not valid. so what reason did he/they give?
