Just got this in an email from PERS:
1. Significant changes have been made to policy in regards to service in the IRR-ASP. Please review the new policies and procedures delineated in reference (a), and read it in its entirety on the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) IRR website, dated 2 October 2017.
2. Upon completion of initial eight year military service obligation (MSO) (officer or enlisted) or current contract (enlisted), a service member will no longer be eligible to remain in the IRR-ASP, with the exception of members who have obtained 16 qualifying years for retirement as of 30 September 2017, and those members of programs approved for continued assignment in the IRR-ASP (i.e. Strategic Sealift Officers, JAG Students, BUMED Students, Chaplain Students). Members who desire continued service may request affiliation with Selected Reserve (SELRES) or IRR-Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) through their local Navy Recruiter. Please see additional officer-specific opportunities for affiliation in paragraph 11 of reference (a).
3. Officers between eight year MSO and 16 qualifying years of service for retirement will be placed in the Standby Reserve-Inactive (USNR-S2) status as of 30 November 2017. Officers will remain in this status for up to one year, to provide adequate time to contact a local Navy Recruiter and affiliate into the SELRES or IRR-VTU.
4. For enlisted service members with end of obligated service (EOS) falling between 30 September 2017 and 30 November 2017, an exception to policy may be granted for requesting an extension in order to provide the service member with adequate time to contact a local Navy Recruiter for affiliation into SELRES or IRR-VTU. In the extension request, the following information must be provided to process: Recruiter's name, recruiting area, and phone number.
