USAR to IRR transfer packet?

SPC Private RallyPoint Member — Wed, 02 May 2018 18:41:33 -0400

So i ETSD from active duty about a year ago, and decided to try out the reserves for the last year i have left on my initial 6x2 contract. I signed a 4187 and they put me in this unit. Its not for me and i feel like I am wasting time and money going to these drills. I submitted my packet and they sent it up, i used the grounds of AR 410-10, 4-1, para D. "Upon completion of a contractual agreement to serve in a TPU which the Soldier incurred on initial enlistment in the USAR under a 3x5, 4x4, 5x3, or 6x2 option.", since that is what the units S1 told me to write as my reason. My question is how do i go about checking on this packet, the commander approved it, so it went to HRC I'm assuming. I hear these story's about how paperwork could sit there for months. I want to be proactive in this since i do not want to waste anymore of my time and money, i also have a job offer. I dont want to be doing school, my job, AND drill. What are some steps or POCs you guys recommend?

If you are at the company level, it would go to battalion, then a brigade level which would be RSG{full bird} that is where it ended, now they may make it go up to a 1 star RRC level.

Once you have your recommendation memo from your commander, the packet will be uploaded into ePAT.
Each level above you will view it and the commander of each will add their recommendation memo, Battalion, Brigade, Major Support Command, and possibly your OFTS, before going to HRC.
As it is signed and pushed to the next level, it is visible in ePAT. Your S-1 should be able to see which level the packet is currently and how long it's been there.

In my experience (depends on the command) most packets go through a jag review. That usually takes the longest. After jag reviews it typically packets require a signature from the 1st one star in your coc. If your unit submitted it through epat, they can check the status at any time.

Thank you all for your responses. I got my orders today, effect today. About one week after I submitted my packet, fastest I’ve ever seen this type of thing happen.

I’m sorry it was not for you. Hopefully you will find a unit that is before you are discharged. The Army Reserve is very under strength and can really use trained experienced Soldiers. Wishing you the best and I hope you reconsider or look into another unit.

As a former 79V, unless if they have changed, which I doubt. You are attempting something that is quite unusual. I commend you for your duty commitment, yet if approved you will be transferred to the IRR the same way as if you just stopped drilling. In either way it has no effect on your overall service.

Im trying to transfer into the IRR and am having trouble trying to find the papers and forms to put the packet together. Any suggestions, or links to the documents I need?

Can you send me the packet you completed. I just left active and signed for reserved to complete for retirement but for many reasons I can't continue and want to do IRR
