I'm about to leave active duty and trasition back into civilian life, but it doesn't really end there, does it? I'm trying to set myself up with a PMC right now, but I'm sort of wondering if I should try given I have no real information about how inactive duty even works. If I do get onboard with a PMC, would they end up turning me away because of my contact? Can I even leave the US? Do I still need to get haircuts weekly? Haha I honestly have no clue what's about to happen to me. I'd ask my command (and probably still will), but they'rer pretty busy trying to get people to re-up right now haha. I've been training so much lately I've hardly had time to do my TRS prework. This community is so awesome that it has helped me learn more about the military in the year I've been on it than the entire four years I've been in the infantry. Any answers provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

when I went inactive in 77 it meant I had no privileges of active duty military but they could call me back active in a national emergency.

When I was in I did 4 yrs active, 2 inactive, I went back to school and never heard from anyone after that. Inactive means just that they don’t expect anything out of you at all, once you hit your EAS your essentially done. And my time up front before I went to PI counted against that inactive time, so that was like 3 months on the delayed entry program. PI in July and Aug is decidedly horrendous, I didn’t sweat I just oozed goo, it was hot damn hot, lol.

I would imagine that the various PMC's out there would each have their own standards.

What happens to your SGLI/SGLV/Blended retirement while in the IRR?
