<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>All you are doing with signing a Declination Statement is that you are barring yourself from continued service, guaranteeing you will not be able to reenlist. No, you will not lose any benefits. I know this because I did a Dec Statement back in 2003 when I came down on orders to FT Riley. I ETSd with full benefits and an RE-1 Code. If your Unit Retention NCO is not helpful, go visit your BN Career Counselor/Retention NCO.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Read the Dec statement and it has all the information on it, it is literally a counseling statement about its consequences and your options.<br /><br />Go to Army Pubs. Pull up DA Form 4779-R and read it. There is nothing more to it than that.<br /><br />You may be placed on assignment still and have to go. <br />You may join the Reserves. <br />You will lose you&#39;re promotable status <br />You will not lose your VA benefits
