Im on the same boat. I was told I could be transferd back into the IRR if I didnt like by the local "career counsil" after I got out of active. It should be a crime to violate the army values and honor and intergrity went out the Window for that one after submitting my IRR packet they didnt bother me for a year so I figured everything was working out. Last year in October I had to show up again because my packet was sitting on top of a desk left behind by the old unit administrator and that I had to start showing back up. Now im told I cant get back into the IRR that I have to finish my contract. Which there for get me out with a general dishcharge.. one thing the army is good for is letting their veterans down and or soldiers

I'm not sure how the reserves work, but I had a situation come up where I had seven months left on my contract with the National Guard. Medical issues with my son came up to where it was more important for me to be at home. After providing proper medical documentation about his issues, I went through a program called ING (Inactive National Guard). This is usually meant for soldiers who need a break in service for various issues, but have the intent of coming back. Because I was less than a year out from ETS and you needed at least 1 year left on your contract for ING, my career counselor had me extend for one year, which brought me up to 1 year, 7 months left. From there, I was put on ING. You're allowed to be on that program for up to 2 years, but most are only on it for 1 year. After that 1 year, all I did was call my unit and inform them that the medical situation had not changed and would not change for years, I informed them I would be riding out the rest of my time on ING.
