Can an AMEDD officer in the IRR drill (for points only) with an affiliated Reserve unit that has no open vacancy (DA select to COL 65D PA)? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-an-amedd-officer-in-the-irr-drill-for-points-only-with-an-affiliated-reserve-unit-that-has-no-open-vacancy-da-select-to-col-65d-pa <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The full time staff at my affiliated Reserve AMEDD unit are uncertain if they can permit me to drill for points only as a Colonel in the IRR since they do not have an 06 position. I am a 65D Physician Assistant. I&#39;ve awaited a reply from the specific branch managers for a month. Can anyone offer a suggestion or state a specific regulation addressing my situation?

What I can do is get you in touch that the Area Leader in that location. Or you can send me an email with the specifics. [login to see] SFC A.M.
