I am coming up on 20 yrs in ANG, I have 3500+ points. How do I join IRR?

I am only retiring because I was told that once I receive a VA rating of 40% or higher I will medically retired and only collect a lump sum payment. Is it worth going IRR? My unit is no help.

I'm 60% VA and they mobilized me so that's complete crap.

I was told you can be 100% VA and still be in as long as you can deploy.

You medically retire with a MEB PEB. Never take a lump sum it will be spent. 40% is BS. My sgt friend is in At 100% age 60. Still in. Get your 20 year letter.... then retire forget IRR. Its's 15 points a year if I remember.

You can continue to serve with 50%+ so long as you can maintain readiness, at least in the AF Reserves.

All I will say is, look into your medical readiness regulations.
