Can I choose to go back to IRR from the Reserves if I already completed my 4 year obligation with another branch?

After my 4 year obligation with the Marine Corps I switched into the Army Reserve and enlisted for 6 years. Can I choose to go back to the IRR whenever I do so please or am I under obligation with the Reserve?

You already have over your 8 mandatory years so is all up to you at this point.

why did you switch if you were just wanting to go IRR as soon as possible?

Obligation for call-up, yes. Obligation to attend meetings and other Reserve activities, usually no. If I recall correctly, you may volunteer for deployment and annual training.
