SGT Private RallyPoint Member 4317661 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hoping someone can clarify this for me. I&#39;ve been reading AR 614-30 and AR 635-200 and the JTR and DoDti regulations but they always seem to reference one-another without a direct answer. (that I didn&#39;t see)<br /><br />This is my question;<br /><br />I was PCS&#39;ed to Alaska in 2013 and during my time I re-enlisted while I was OCONUS and ended up staying OCONUS for the second re-enlistment. Later on an opportunity presented itself and I submitted a Chapter 16-7 (Reduction in force packet) to leave the Active Army to go to work and join the national guard with about only 4 months left on my second enlistment in the Active Army. Does the approval of the 16-7 award me a completion of tour and authorize a second OSR? I was awarded another DROS date during all of this, but never received orders to stay. And yet again, this was a re-enlistment, not an extension. <br /><br />All in all, I am just wondering if my reduction of force separation awards a second completion of tour, since I was awarded the initial already. 2019-01-26T06:45:23-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 4317661

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Over seas service ribbon is awarded for a specific amount of time, if you do not meet that time no ribbon, it does not matter when your &quot;tour ends&quot;. The wording of the award is stupid.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Overseas%20Service%20Ribbon%20OSR">https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Overseas%20Service%20Ribbon%20OSR</a><br /><br />according to table 3-2 of AR 614-30 these are the &quot;exemptions&quot;<br />Award of tour credit and adjustment of date eligible for return from overseas/date returned from overseas<br /><br />1.<br />To within 60 days of completion of the prescribed tour (see table 2<br />–<br />1, note 3) by your statement you were 4 months short, so this applies.<br /><br />Less than the normal prescribed overseas tour, curtailment is for the convenience of the Government, and through no request from or fault of the Soldier.<br /><br />Your transfer was an individual request so this applies.<br /><br />You do not get the award, it sucks but it happens, i missed a second award of an OSR in the navy by three days, because i sold leave back to the navy. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Overseas%20Service%20Ribbon%20OSR">HRC Homepage</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description"> Toll-Free: 1-888-ARMY-HRC (1-888-276-9472) DSN: 983-9500 AskHRC</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div>
