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.

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 SFC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 10 Nov 2020 05:42:35 -0500 2020-11-10T05:42:35-05:00 2020-11-09T18:53:59-05:00
