Wondering if I will be able to keep my rank. Some say i have to be paid first(which is in June) others say I have had to make it before the next test cycle(which is April).

The honest answer is “maybe.” Which Reserves are you transferring too? The Navy? If it’s Navy, it’s probably need to find a E-5 spot in a USNR unit. If you are changing services, you will most likely get bumped down to E-4.

As long as you find an E-5 slot in the Reserve unit your transferring to with no break in service I don't see why not. If your going into IRR it should remain E-5. It depends on how long you were to stay IRR if you'd remain an E-5

Anyone more knowledgeable of the Navy should have a more specific answer. Thanks for your continued plans of service!

If you aren’t getting paid, you’ll probably lose it. Is your enlistment up in May? Can you extend for 6 months to make it permanent?
