How can we get a transfer out of an RFX company after it has already been denied by a General?

My husband is in the reserves in an RFX company and I am active duty oconus. We got married Nov 2019 and he notified his chain of command of a change of location. His transfer paperwork has now taken 18 months and gone all the way up to a general only for the general to deny the transfer. I said to use the open door policy with the BN CO or BDE CO who are both tracking he flies into drill every month from oconus and ask what is going on. How can we make this transfer happen?

MAJ Private RallyPoint Member Any Advice? Is he getting the $500 reimbursement for travel? I know it is not enough and what about the 14 day quarantine? You should be able to do that. I live in Canada and I can't go to my unit without worrying about a 14 day quarantine on the way back and now Canada Demands a coronavirus test upon entry or upon meeting the border agent at the airport. I think you should go to your Congressman now if the general says no.

SPC Breen, I know at one point your husband was attempting to transfer to our unit and I never heard from him again. Please email me offline, or have him email my .mil and I will try to assist. Our unit is RFX as well and we routinely transfer Soldiers out. I recently worked a transfer for one of our Soldiers whose AC spouse PCS'd to Germany. It's all about how the letter of justification is written and getting chain of command endorsement beginning at company level.

Sorry if this was already answered. Due to “relocation” you should only need the immediate losing commanders signature on the 4651–the packet is the forwarded to the RD. Personally, I would initiate an IG complaint for not following the packet checklist from PAG (personnel action guide). But not all Soldiers want to go that route.

Is this general even aware of the circumstances? Why would he do this? This makes no sense.
