<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You have a particular situation, so I personally don&#39;t know if you are free and clear yet for the IRR. <br /><br />Push your inquiry up to IG or JAG, failing that go to your congressman. Realistically, with a Jun 2020 ETS you have a HARD OUT, and by time you get any traction by pushing it up you&#39;ll be in May/June. <br /><br />June will be here before you know it. It&#39;s only 4-5 more BA&#39;s. Throw in a few request for RST&#39;s and excused absences and see what happens.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am somewhat confused on what you are asking and why you want to transfer to the IRR. Do you lose your reserve unit position if you give up the technician job? I know the technician job requires USAR membership but I am not sure it goes the other way. Can you take the new Army Civilian job and remain a member of the reserve unit until your ETS? <br /><br />Finally, have you raised this up the chain of command. In my Reserve experience, commanders weigh heavily on personnel actions and getting a battalion or brigade commander to endorse your request could help. I think a logical explanation on why this is in the best interest of you and the Army (so you can take an Army civilian position) would definitely help.
