Can someone please advice on what it will take to transfer back to IRR. I really don&#39;t have any reason other than that I have completed my first 4 years (5 years actually) obligation of the contract.

Besides if you change your mind before your team mes up you’d only have 12 more years to serve and get your 20 year letter with a supplemental monthly retirement income after age 60 for the rest of you and your spouse would have health insurance w Tri Care too!

You go to your command and state you want to go from Reserves to IRR. They will ask a bunch of questions but ultimately help you with your transfer packet. Then it is just a matter of time, paperwork, signatures and waiting. <br /><br />I would ask why you want to do this? I mean by the math you have 3 years left on your contract. That is 36 drills including 3 annual two week trainings. Is this a burden to you in some way? Is it interfering with your civilian job and/ord education? Think carefully through what you are about to embark upon as going IRR effectively ends your military career and you have no active gains towards retirement or benefits. SSG Brian G.
