I am a National Guard Chaplain, and the State I am moving to does not have any slots. How can I transfer to the Reserves?

CH (MAJ) (Join to see) send me a PM with where you are going. I can assist you in finding you a Career Counselor that can assist you with this process. Is actually an easy process it's a 4651 transfer from the Guard to a Reserve position.

Team,
It's not a difficult process, but each state will have a checklist for completing the transition. Your S1 can contact higher for the most up to date checklist as more than likely it has changed. The first step is to contact the Army Reserve Careers Division at the link below. They will assign you an Army Reserve Career Counselor for where you live and want to transfer to. It’s an easier process if you are enlisted, but my response if for officers. You can either transfer to the IRR for the reserves to pick you up, or you can transfer straight into the reserves. If you are using Tricare, then the only option to not lose your coverage is to transfer directly into the reserves. If the guard screws up your paperwork like mine, you can contact the NG liaison at HRC (Career Manager [login to see] ) and they can turn it around in 48 hours and backdate all of your orders. Then you’ll have to contact Tricare to make sure everything updated correctly. The Career Counselor will fill out the majority of the information for you once you provide what they need, but below is a list of documents that will be submitted for the process.
DD368 – Request for Conditional Release
Memo to BN Commander
DA71 – Oath of Office
DA 4651 - Request for Reserve Component Assignment or Attachment
A document stating that you have read AR600-20, Chp 4, para 4-23 (Federal Recognition Board: Statement of Compliance)
Once everything is completed you will have a completed DD 368 with signatures, NGB 0123E, Separation Orders and NGB 22. If you are transferring straight into the Reserves, then make sure that they put your gaining unit in block 9 instead of the control group. The control group is the IRR.
If you are in North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, or South Carolina you can contact SFC Katrina McNeil directly. She was tremendous help.

You need to talk directly to the senior Chaplain in that State or Reserve Command.
