I have almost 18 years AFS. Is there a command I can join that will allow me to enter Sanctuary?

In the reserve components, it takes waiver approval at Director/Chief level for a reservist to come on orders with more than 17.5 years of AFS.
It's possible with a mobilization, otherwise there would need to be a mission critical need to bring you on orders, no one in the reserves gets orders solely for the purpose of getting to 20 yrs AFS.

My understanding is that Commanders are not authorized to bring a Reservist onto AD for the purpose of receiving Sanctuary. Reservists have to apply directly to HRC for Sanctuary, there is a page on Sanctuary on HRC

On my DD214, I have 17 years 5 months and 25 days of Active Federal Service (AFS). I am currently in the Army Reserves as an IPU Soldier since 20150208. Does my Reserve time put me over the 18 year mark. If so, can I apply for sanctuary?
