You can also do this if you get promoted to Captain but the National Guard won&#39;t let you get promoted you can go in the irr get promoted then come back in. If I knew that, I could have been promoted to Captain two years earlier. Then I remembered looking at my promotion information because I put it for a promotion delay when I should just have requested going into the irr.

As an Officer your options are not like mine. It also depends on how you achieved your commission I believe. Also do you have any &quot;hidden&quot; obligations such as an agreement to serve a certain number of years in exchange for your ROTC/College education? If so these may need to be recovered before you will be allowed to resign your commission. SGT John C. Wed, 10 May 2017 21:08:35 -0400 2017-05-10T21:08:35-04:00 2017-05-10T12:18:52-04:00
