I joined the Army NG after 3 years Active Duty. From 2014 to the middle of 2018 I was never sent to MOSQ for my new MOS (13M to 35F). While at AT I was offered a MOS slot if I extended for 1 year. That didn't happen and now they say I have to do 3 more years plus the time allotted for school. I told them I didn't want to do that so they are threatening to bar me from reenlisting.

I plan to go to the IG about this since this seems unfair to be punished for something that isn't my fault. But I don't know if there are any resources I can use to help me.

Any help will be appreciated.

You can't be barred from reenlistment. It's one of the first stipulations in the reg. However, there are also service remaining requirements for MOS training. Whether or not you've extended or reenlisted multiple times, there is no way to circumvent the requirements to have a certain amount of time left on your contract after graduation, and that requirement must be met prior to going to training.

You don't have to worry about going to IG unless they actually attempt to bar you.

MAJ Jason Lathey sorry, I mistyped that. You can be barred from reenlistment, but not for refusing to reenlist. I can't edit my post on my phone, that was my mistake.

SFC (Join to see) when I was in TRADOC DA waives the requirement for a few of the people that had a school in their contract but needs of the army prevented them from going. So their last 15-18 months in service were at a TRADOC school with no obligation for service after. This is not the case but it does happen when the state or army needs prevent them from fulfilling the schools in the contract.

Without knowing all the details, it sounds like the are using the fact that you are not MOS qualified for any slot in the unit. I do believe that a reserve component can bar re-enlistment or even discharge someone who is not capable of becoming MOS qualified for a unit vacancy, either by choice or disqualification. You may not have sufficient time remaining to attend AIT, if that is an MOS that is can only be awarded by a formal school. So if you refuse to re-enlist in order to meet the requirements to attend school, then yeah, they probably can bar you because you are not MOS qualified for a unit vacancy. But out of curiosity, why do you care about a bar to re-enlistment if you have no intentions of re-enlisting in the first place?

I still want to serve but the guard has just given me the run around about sending me to school. My hope is to continue to serve in the reserves (any branch that may offer a job I'm interested in)

It shouldn't affect you eligibility to later enlist in the USAR. The NGB22 will state the separation code, and its not a misconduct reason to be barred re-enlistment for not qualifying for a unit vacancy (MOS-Q). It may require a RE code waiver, but its a very easy and quick one to get done. But confirm that with a USAR recruiter, as things change.
