You will need to make contact with your Commander, your Retention NCO and your RPAC (if applicable). There is a packet that needs to be completed.

The packet requires a statement from you why you want to transfer, a 4651, and a retention exit counseling.

But if you are asking because you signed a six year contract and want to know what happens after your ETS then that&#39;s different. All Soldiers will owe an 8 year MSO. If you separate prior to your 8 year mark you&#39;ll automatically be transferred into the IRR Reinf Control Group until your 8 year commitment ends. Even when you&#39;re not serving in an AD or RC component that time still counts toward pay if you ever rejoin SFC Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:53:05 -0400 2021-03-18T16:53:05-04:00 2021-03-18T03:14:13-04:00
