So as you guessed, ARPC won’t sign the 368. Here’s their email to me: “We cannot complete the DD368 since it is stating that we authorize your transfer, which we cannot do because you no longer belong to the IRR. you are discharged and free, and your MSO will carry over.” Any advice? I even sent in a copy of my 214 with the request, and specifically explained that by law I have to serve my MSO in the IRR once released from active duty. I don’t understand why they won’t just sign the damn thing, it matters not to them.

When I’ve talked to AFPC in the past they claimed that I did not show up in the system as a non-participating reservist (S7 is the PAS code I believe). When I pursued this further they actually told me that I was not scrolled into the IRR at all and that I had been completely discharged upon separating. However when I go to milconnect, it shows my status as IRR. Also multiple recruiters have run REDD reports on me and it also shows me as being in the IRR. So my question is, will AFPC even complete a 368 for me if they claim I don’t have any status with them?

I'm a former USAF active duty O-3 considering a slot in my state's Army National Guard unit. I separated at four years, with another four on my DD-214 for my MSO in the IRR. Can someone elaborate on the process to be pulled out of USAF IRR and placed in the Army Guard? Is it similar to the process that would occur if I decided to join an Air Reserve or Air Guard unit?

Let us know if you hear anything on this. I talked to a guy over on the AirWarriors forum who claimed to have been a prior non-rated AF officer and got a transfer to the Navy to fly. Though maybe difficult it does seem possible.

I too considered the Army route but I’m hesitant to do it if I have to become a warrant. Really want to fly but I also don’t want to have to give up my full commission; if the Army would let me fly and stay commissioned I would jump on it in a heartbeat. That being said, I’m leaning towards trying to get an inter-service transfer to either the Navy or Coast Guard, or if I can’t get a transfer approved then maybe just waiting till my service commitment w/the AF is up and getting a direct commission into one of those services.
