How will my relief for cause NCOER impact my ability to re-enlist in the National Guard? Will I be put on a QMP list?

Good Afternoon,

I’ve been struggling with finding a direct answer to this question, and I just need some clarification as it affects my career in the military. I received a Cause of Relief NCOER( when I was AGR), however I’m no longer flagged and I was able to transfer to a different state and join a different national guard. It’s been about 7 months since then. The supplementary review has not signed the cause of relief NCOER what does that mean? Can he/she add additional adverse actions? Now that I’m M-day will this cause of relief affect me reenlisting in the national guard? Will I be put on a QMP list? and what can I do to fight it? Thank you for your help.

I don't believe this would interfere with your enlistment, future promotions, most definitely, but not continued service.
Your best answer would come from the Career Counselor/ Retention NCO, as they will be the most up to date.
If you're in your window, you could reenlist now, before the NCOER is accepted by HQDA. Then there wouldn't be any question, unless you're holding out for a bonus.
Regardless, well done for wanting to stick with it! Commitment seems to be a dwindling attribute these days.

depends on who you know. I know a guy who got relieved of company command while in theater and 6 months later they promoted him to Major.....

I can’t answer your whole question but I can tell you that you won’t have to worry about QMP in compo 2 or 3. So don’t worry about that aspect of things

You won't be QMP'ed from the Guard. Unless your commander placed a Bar to Continued Service, you shouldn't have any issue reenlisting. Are they still considering any further action due to whatever issue caused the Relief for Cause? Further adverse action would be the only thing that would put you out of the Guard. The biggest impediment is that the NCOER will show up on promotion boards for the next 5 years or so; it will make it extremely difficult to promote.
