For enlisted, your rank generally transfers, and the specific rules are listed in AR 600-20 under enlisted date of rank.

For Soldiers enlisted and officer that complete their AD or NG contract and transfer to the IRR (Individual Ready Reserve) can transfer to AR (Army Reserve). I support Soldiers throughout the southeast region and would be more than glad to assist.

After 2003, the active component pretty much received any office who wanted to come over: not shit bags!!!!! Today’s environment? Who knows!
