Your writing at least a two star General, more than likely complaining about why his subordinates will not release you to another service (whom he wants to fight to keep you).........very bad move to address this so high in your Chain of Command. It tells the General you (in your opinion) cannot find a decent or reasonable person in your Chain of Command all the way up to his level. What do you think kind of conclusion he is going to form about you and your maturity? Address it lower in the Chain of Command. I never had to go higher than unit 1SGT for my Conditional Release to Active Duty so something tells me your being impatient or very unwise or acting on incomplete information.

I wouldn&#39;t send any letter before that time. Also keep a good log of the dates you have talk this with your chain of command, giving opportunity from squad leader to your company and/or battalion commander. This will give your letter a strong meaning on why you are writing to him and also show that you give your chain of command the opportunity to address the situation. If you do the letter, make it clear that you are in need of going AD, this probably would help.<br />I had a friend in the NG that wanted to go AD. After going thru the chain of command didn&#39;t got any help. The AG of PR had an open door policy, so he went to him directly, but keep in mind this was after he gave ta chance to his leadership. He stated that he needed to go active duty because of financial hardship. They approved the conditional release for him after a few weeks. <br />Hope this info helps, good luck.

If you have the opportunity, you should ask the company admin to assist you. Make sure you have a subject line that is clear, then outline what you want and the reasons for it. Since the CoC told you to initiate, I would see if I could include him in the signature blocks.

The letter you are writing will eventually be read by the AG. But it goes threw many hands before it reaches him or her. Your packet has to go threw your COC first and everyone has to sign off on it. Your 1SG also has to write a letter as well. Once your packet has been put together it goes to BN then BDE if it makes it threw those stages it goes to state level (AG) after that you should be getting an answer. I&#39;m in the process right now and its been about 2 months and mine made it to state last week..so now i wait! I&#39;ve heard its pretty tough leaving the MS guard i wish you good luck Response by SGT Thomas Albert made Mar 21 at 2018 5:18 AM 2018-03-21T05:18:28-04:00 2018-03-21T05:18:28-04:00 2018-01-27T21:13:09-05:00
