I talked to the recruiter and he emailed me a DD368 with instructions however it says that section 2 of the form must be filled out by the first O-5 in my chain of command. But I’m reading everywhere else it has to be at the division level? I would appreciate any help towards this and the DD368 in general.

The recruiter tried to tell me it had to be signed by the first General in my chain, but that was incorrect.

There are no conditional releases for active duty, especially to join another branch. Those are used to be released from the reserves for the most part. In order to join any other branch or component - AF, USMC, USAR, NG, etc - you must first ETS. You can work with a recruiter before then, but you have to ETS and you won&#39;t be released early.<br />You can look in AR 635-200 for all the reasons to be separated, from ETS to misconduct to education. You won&#39;t find that the Active Army authorizes being released to other branches.

Your MOS? Your duty station? I’m genuinely curious.
