To make a long story short, i would like to switch back to IRR. I listenined to the recruiters lies again and joined the reserves without a contract. The only reason why i joined is because i thought that i would be able to switch my job to 25B and learn computers, but it turns out that is not going to happen anytime soon and i would rather go to college. How can i make the switch back asap?

Go to your reserve unit and request transfer back to the IRR. Just not showing up would irresponsible and could be a negative if you ever wanted to come back to the active reserves.

First, how were you lied to? An IRR transfer is a transfer and not an enlistment so you are acting within your original contract...or to restate: no, you do have a contract and have since you enlisted. You did not join anything, you were, and are, in the Reserves. If you transfer back to the component you were in, you will still be in the Reserves.
What is serving in the Reserves is stopping you from attending college? Oh right, nothing.
You can request to be transferred back to the IRR or simply not report and you will automatically be transferred back.

So, you did an IRR transfer into an Army Reserve unit, not a prior service enlistment contract?

MSG Brad Sand - Unless it has changed again, it wouldn't have been a USAREC Reserve recruiter. Had to of been a 79V in the unit working off a DMDC list.

SFC J Fullerton - This is not very sound advice to be giving SPC Shaun Boykin Are you advising him to just stop showing up? Yes that General Discharge is going to be a great thing for him in the future. They do not always just "transfer you back" The correct way is to request through his chain of command to go back in the IRR for Cogent Personal reasons. Let the process work and see if it gets approved.

SFC (Join to see) - No, I am not advising him to that. But in reality, that is generally what happens.

SPC Shaun Boykin - Just FYI- I advise you to go through your chain of command and request to be transferred back to the IRR. That is the right way to go about it. I was never suggesting that you just stop showing up. I was only stating what "generally" happens in cases like that.
