Not sure about Navy Reserves, but Army Reserves, a new troop is not required to attend Reserve duties until they are MOS-Q. Contact your Recruiter to find out what unit you were assigned to. If that is known, then contact the unit and speak with them. And let them know of your issues. Also, let your Recruiter know of your issues.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 17 at 2020 12:17 PM2020-07-17T12:17:00-04:002020-07-17T12:17:00-04:00SGT Mark Friedman6111065<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It shouldn't.Response by SGT Mark Friedman made Jul 17 at 2020 1:31 PM2020-07-17T13:31:59-04:002020-07-17T13:31:59-04:00SP5 Peter Keane6111506<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your 214 won't change, but you will not get a 256A at the end of the 8 year MSO.Response by SP5 Peter Keane made Jul 17 at 2020 4:03 PM2020-07-17T16:03:59-04:002020-07-17T16:03:59-04:00CDR Private RallyPoint Member6115385<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you have a previous honorable discharge from the Army, it will remain as the same status. Once you signed a contract with the Navy Reserve that would be the date of your new enlistment. If you are unable to fulfill your contract due to unforeseen circumstances your recruiter is correct that your reenlistment code may change. This means if you try to enter the service at a later date you will require a waiver.Response by CDR Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 19 at 2020 12:41 AM2020-07-19T00:41:34-04:002020-07-19T00:41:34-04:002020-07-17T12:08:06-04:00
