Why would Fort Jackson MEPS still say that I'm in the NG, even though I was discharged to the IRR and I have my DD368 signed and approved?

My recruiter requested my records from Fort Jackson MEPS from when I enlisted in the National Guard. Long story short their records show I'm in the National Guard still even though I have my IRR orders and my signed DD368. Anyone know why or how to fix this?

You may have to reach out to your State Bureau to get this fixed.

You are in the National Guard until your IRR time is up. In order for the 368 to be effective you would have to come out of the IRR, then enlist.

Confused why anyone cares? A signed MEPCOM Form...I forget the number but it does not matter...your recruiter can pull your records over to that service? The MEPCOM record is going to stay with the previous service until it is transferred in their system. MEPCOM's records are will not change until the request is turned into move them. One signature and problem is solved. Sorry I have forgotten the form number, but it has been a decade or so?

You will remain in the IRR National Guard until you ship out to Active Duty. If you do not ship before the 368 expires you are still in the IRR National Guard. Now if it is showing that you are still in the National Guard and not the IRR, you should be able to go to your guard unit for them to fix it

Lol when I went to Korea someone accidentally pushed a button that said I had ETS'ed instead of PCS'ed so no pay due for several months having to go and get emergency pay. Then they kept taking my pay away from me for months after that. I am not sure if i ever did get my pay straight!
