What AR covers officer mandatory extensions? Is my unit required to notify me in writing?

There's a rumor circulating that all officers in my State had our contracts changed to reflect an 8 years reserve service obligation rather than the six active/two IRR we originally signed up for. I understand the Army is well within its rights to do so and I'm not refuting that, but it seems odd that we at the very least wouldn't have something uploaded in our IPERMS to reflect that. I've just about exhausted my google fu trying to come up with an answer, so any help would be awesome.

Rumors are like A#$%HOLES LT, they all smell. Got a problem contact the unit or your S1.

Ha, good point SGM. Problem is the S1 is the one giving this information out, it's a good place to start at least.

1LT (Join to see) Sir, if it is not in writing, it never happened. If S1 is telling you this, there HAS to be documentation somewhere. Ask for said documentation. If they cannot produce, ask for their source of information, then follow up with THAT person / office for documentation. If S1 doesn't have a source, or if that source doesb't have documentation, ignore them (and chew out the S1 for spreading rumors).

AR 135-91 Table 2-1.
What you are talking about, entire 8 year period in a unit is only a requirement for ROTC with a scholarship.
What state is this?

I haven't seen such a directive in black and white extending us to the full 8 years, but a more practical approach I've seen being used is pushing to the bottom of the administrative pile are IRR requests. It should't take 6-12 months to process an IRR but that seems to be the case.
They don't need a command directive, they just simply don't release to you the IRR. Soldiers do what ever they want, and at the end of the day the Readiness Matrix looks just as good if the soldier attends or not. A way commanders can "float" the limbo process of getting into the IRR is simply given excused absences.
Now with Virtual BA's it all seems moot, and the challenge is for those who care that they get enough points for a good year.
