I signed up for my MOS with bonus, and I was told by my recruiter that I have 6+2 years of active reserves and IRR. However, when I looked at my contract, it says I have 8 years of active reserves and 0 year of IRR. Basically none of the people I asked (Reserves/NG) have a contract with 8 years of active drilling. I told my DS at basic and they told me to get it fixed at AiT, and the platoon SGTs told me to get it fixed at my unit. I am now a TPU soldier. Is it possible to get it changed?

Doubt it. You will need to speak with your RPAC/S1 personnel. Because you will now run the risk of possibly losing your bonus that is tied to your current contract. Again, you need to speak with your RPAC/S1 personnel for clarification.

Got it, My supply sergeant told me I can request for IRR after 6 years. However, my cash bonus locked me to my MOS for 8 years. Can I stay in my MOS for 6 years and request for IRR without losing my bonus?

SPC (Join to see) - Negative. If that is even granted, you could lose what's left of your bonus and be required to pay back what payments you've already received.

So you want to be one of the sad sacks crying because they're age 60 with no retirement... because they got out or went IRR.. how many jobs give retirement benefits for part timers... Don't be foolish...

The problem is not that, I’m looking to reclassify of change to a different unit after 6 year, but my contract simply does not allow that because my bonus is tied to 8 years.
