The chief of the IRR/IMA branch at HRC sent out a message recently that there has been a change to the regulations, and correspondence courses will no longer count towards retirement points!!!! What do I do in order to have a good year??? (USAR)

You may request to do an AT with a unit to get your retirement points chief or find a local career counselor to put you into a Reserve unit.

Request an AT with a specific unit? Does that mean that unit will pay out of its budget for my AT? HRC's IRR/IMA branch clearly stated that there's no AT for IRR soldiers this FY...it's not in HRC's budget.

UPDATE: I'm back in TPU-land, have been since August. The unit and the mission are great. It's a very small detachment, and the possibility of deployment is low right now. Either Djibouti or Germany, and I'd have to volunteer for it.

Plus, I've got two weeks of AT coming up at the end of this month, so when my RYE date of 13 March gets here, I'll still have a good year, despite 7 months in the IRR.

if you need 10 yrs as an officer ( I have 20 enlisted) can you retire as an officer in the IRR?

Yes. But only if those years are good years. You get 15 points for affiliation and need to find another 35 points for a good year. Correspondence courses don't count anymore, so you could get them by drilling for points only with a unit.
