CW2 Private RallyPoint Member 6908337 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My UQR packet has been returned from HRC without action. The reason submission is too early. These references were given from AR 600-8-24:<br />Chapter 2<br />Release from Active Duty of Reserve Component Commissioned and Warrant Officers<br />2–5. Voluntary release from active duty due to personal reasons<br />a. If eligible under the criteria prescribed in paragraph 2–5b, an officer may request REFRAD whenever such action is considered appropriate (see fig 2–1). Unless otherwise specified, application for REFRAD will be submitted not earlier than 12 months or no later than 6 months before the desired release date or beginning date of transition leave, whichever is the earliest.<br /> <br />Chapter 3<br />Resignations<br />3–1.<br />c. Under normal circumstances, any RA officer or USAR officer who has completed their 8-year MSO may submit a request for unqualified resignation, provided all Service remaining requirements have been met. Such application will be submitted not earlier than 12 months or less than 6 months prior to the requested separation date. The 6-month requirement may be waived by the SAA, except in the case of an officer who has not fulfilled the 8-year MSO, or is requesting a Reserve commission concurrent with REFRAD. Appropriate documentation must accompany the request.<br /> <br />The email also said since I am AD I can&#39;t submit my packet 12 month prior from my terminal leave start date. I know another pilot who submitted his packet last year and he had no issues, he is in the same situation. A quick research on google brought me to an article of a pilot who went through this process back in 2018, his article mentioned that you can submit UQR packet 12 month prior from your terminal leave start date. Can somebody please clarify this regulation please? <br /><br />Thank you. 2021-04-17T05:55:01-04:00 CW2 Private RallyPoint Member 6908337

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The regulation reads confusing. You can&#39;t submit prior to 12 months from your separation date. In your UQR memo you request an ETS date, that&#39;s the 12 month mark you work off of. It&#39;s the same for retirement as well.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Without physically seeing your packet I would guess it&#39;s one of three things: You have the wrong date on your memo, you still have an SRR for something, or your packet didn&#39;t make it to HRC and was returned by an intermediate authority who misread/misunderstood the regulation or your request.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think I violated all of that when I resigned from active duty in lieu of PCS.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>May have changed, but AFAIK, if you are a Reserve Officer on AD at the end of 2 years, if you not have a longer commitment for some special schooling or recovering from LOD injuries that requires a longer period, one is REFRAD automagically almost.
