I'm in the army reserve and looking for the exit 2022 April. I know I should get with retention to get started with IRR packet but when should I start talking to retention about it? I've heard 6months prior or 90 days prior to my ETS. Thanks!

It took this guy a while to go into the irr but he was also in a ready Force unit.
Maybe he can shed some light or others here could too?

Go find your Retention NCO and ASK THEM when you can start the packet. I mean, they are the SMEs.
