Tough to tell

When I was still in the Army I was stationed at FT. Jackson, and while there either 500 or 600 Soldiers from the IRR were called up and trained at some NG site right outside of FT. Jackson. I remember there being a lot of contraversy (sp) over a couple of Officers that were called back to active duty. They were older like in their 60's and 50's. I was told about the resignation then for the first time. An old GS employee (former CPT) told me about having to resign your commission.He served in the 80's. I went to the Middle East with a number of IRR Soldiers. SOme of whom were well past their 8 year commitment. I recently had breakfast with a Retention/Recruiter for the Army reserves. I asked point blank about wether I needed to resign my commision or not. He could not even give me a straight answer.

I know this doesn't answer any questions, but it should let you know that being released from the IRR is difficult and there are lots of ways for the Army to try to keep you in. If anyone finds the answer please let me know. Good luck my fellow on the journey towards the truth.
