I have been searching for an avenue to go Active Duty for quite awhile now with no avail. I have broadened my search and am considering Navy Active Duty. I am currently an E-5 88N with high ASVAB scores. Can some of you Navy folks chime in with what my MOS would convert to and how difficult it would be to get on Active Duty with Prior Service?</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> Sgt Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 27 Feb 2021 18:40:49 -0500 2021-02-27T18:40:49-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/do-i-have-to-submit-a-packet-to-be-released-from-my-unit-to-go-active-navy-or-is-the-368-all-i-need?n=6781982&urlhash=6781982 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The USAR requires a big old packet to be released right now. There&#39;s no guarantee you will be released and the USAR is under no obligation to release you.

The ARMY recruited and trained you, the reserve does not have to release you from your contract just so you can go to a competing branch. You have a better chance of going Active Army than going Active Navy. SSG Brian G.

Soldier submits DD Form 368 completed thru Item 4 and completed DA Form 4187 with justification. Unit submits thru Chain of CMD to GOCOM CDR (MSC) for final approval. 2. If approved, the DD Form 368 is returned to Soldier to take to recruiter.<br /> [NOTE: Then follow with remainder of existing instructions.] 3. Approved conditional release along with supporting enlistment documentation is forwarded to the RPSC for publication of appropriate transfer or discharge orders (and certificate). The RPSC uploads the discharge or reassignment order and the DD Form 368 are uploaded to iPERMS. 4. The RPSC makes distribution to Unit, Soldier, GOCOM iPERMS and the USAR Pay Center. 5. The RPSC updates the personnel database.<br />(Documents include the 638 and 4187 in addition to DA4856 with command and retention and a justification memo/letter from you.)
