Does anyone know the process of going back to IRR from reserves? I just finished a 4 year contract active duty and went reserves. I did it for school not realizing my post 911 and fafsa pays for everything. Also many employers are very hesitant to hire me due to the possibility of being sent off to training. At any time (No back handed comments please)

You will have to submit a Voluntary IRR request through your chain of command.

You need to get with your Retention NCO/Career Counselor and your Commander as all three of you need to work together to complete the IRR packet.

I did several hops into and out of the IRR in my career.
It's a DA Form 4561 - Request for Reserve Component Assignment or Attachment, and supporting docs. There will be counseling, etc. Bottom line, if the LOSING UNIT (wherever you are currently) signs off (all the way up the chain), time will pass and transfer orders will be cut.
See USAR PAM 600-5, Figure B-59, but AR 140-10 Governs.
Good outline here:

But, as always, it is Army Regs, not something you found on the internets that govern.
Notes:
1. You will need a "cogent reason"/justification
2. It is a request, it **CAN** be denied.
