What is the rank on your DD214? What is the rank on your discharge orders form the IRR? I would have these two documents and then go speak with your local recruiter.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 26 at 2018 12:10 AM2018-02-26T00:10:03-05:002018-02-26T00:10:03-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3395679<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I can't give you a definite answer, as they factor a lot into Grade Determinations; however, I'm going through this right now.<br /><br />I'm attempting to enlist in the Reserves as prior service. I ETS'd as an E-5 (also without BLC/WLC) in 2014 initially, then IRR with a 1 year contract from 2015-2016 in the Guard. So only 13ish months break in service as of right now. They came back saying that I could enlist as an E-5 after MEPS and everything again, currently waiting on that portion of the process.<br /><br />A couple factors: I had to submit my NCOER's along with the grade determination packet. My recruiter also said that they most likely approved my E-5 because I am still within a 24 month window from when I ETS'd. I'll just have to attend WLC/BLC asap after I enlist if I want to keep my 5.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 26 at 2018 8:16 PM2018-02-26T20:16:45-05:002018-02-26T20:16:45-05:002018-02-25T23:33:55-05:00
