SFC Private RallyPoint Member 5420562 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good evening everyone. So the question is, myite brother joined the Army Reserves via the split option program in 2017. However upon completion of Basic Training, he failed to graduate high school. Therefore he was unable to attend AIT. Upon further talking with his (now former) Chain of Command, they told him he would be processed for discharged via a NOS(?) packet. He filled out the packet and hadn&#39;t heard anything up until a week ago when his new commander reached out asking why he hadn&#39;t attended drill. Now to my understanding he *should* be processed for Entry Level Separation however that seemingly only applies to those trainees who failed to adapt within the first 180 days of service. Being that almost three years has elapsed and still no headway has been made, he&#39;s in a tough spot. He&#39;s contacted his recruiter on behalf of the issue as well as his former Platoon leadership but to no avail beyond telling him they&#39;ll handle it. Any insight on the issue would be much appreciated. 2020-01-06T20:41:30-05:00 SFC Private RallyPoint Member 5420562

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The NOS is Notification of intent to Separate.<br />He will be put out for not becoming MOS qualified within 24 months of enlistment.<br />And he cannot get AIT, or remain in service, without a HS diploma, though he might be able to stay in the reserve component with a GED.<br />But the retention past 24 months without an MOS is an Army G1 level waiver.<br />That said, the 1SG has no authority to excuse a TPU from drill, that authority is the commander only.<br />Odds are he will have to separate and come back in with a GED.
