I would like to know what my options are on getting out or transferring to the Irr, i was prior active and now in the reserves, going on 3years and still processing the same paperwork, no one in my unit helps and they just send me to someone else, giving me the run around.

IRR transfers are pretty easy but don't think that ur done, they can always put you back on orders if they need you.

That's for sure, i'm a 12B stuck in a 42A unit /S1, where I've been doing the same paperwork every month going on 3years, retention has my name in the system but none of my military records, my contract ends this year, but their system says January 2020, i went to deers to renew my card, and they say i'm Sol, cause my contract is ending. Can i go through military 1 source since my unit doesn't want to assist on processing the paperwork?

SPC, you have a couple options. Option 1 is to continue to drill until your contract expires. Option 2 submit a 4187 requesting transfer to the IRR through your Battalion. Option 3 is, if you are in your reenlistment window, reenlist for the IRR. Option 1 doesn't require much explanation. Option 2 can, as you have experienced, take a long time depending on your chain of command. Option 3 will take 10 days if you reenlist for the IRR. It by passes your chain of command and goes directly to your RSC. You will have orders to the IRR very rapidly. You can only reenlist for the IRR for 3 years, but you do still get to carry a military ID and have access to your local military base commissary, Class 6, and PX for the entire time you are in the IRR.
