My enlistment contract is 2 years 21 weeks of active duty and 2 years in the reserves. Will I have to serve in the reserves after I get chaptered? Or will I be separated from the military completely after my chapter gets approved?

No, you are not eligible to transfer into the reserves or the IRR. On your DD214 where it says "Component transferred to:" yours will say N/A.

It depends on what the Seperation Authority says and the character of his discharge. OTH or DHDC the no IRR and no Reserves.

If he gets an Honorable and the Seperation Authority does not say No IRR, he will be IRR.

The Reserves are not the minor league, you don't get sent there without volunteering and having them accept.

Are you getting a dishonorable discharge?
If so, you will not be in the reserves and you will not even be in the IRR.
