MAJOR IRR Policy Change...

Do you happen to have a link to that? I don't doubt it but that is the first time I have heard it being written down in a reg or being a hard and fast rule. As for whether it 'interferes' with the job or duty that seemed to be up to the individual NOSC's, the OS1 was asked to come back to the SELRES about 4 years after getting kicked out but with little over a year before qualifying for retirement he said no thanks.

The only reference to 30% I see in the manual refers to what a Navy Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) determines, not the VA.
d. Waiver of Disability Compensation. Disability compensation is a monetary benefit awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) based on a service-connected disability. Members who were found “Unfit” via a final PEB determination with a rating of 30% or higher are transferred to the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL), while those rated at 20% or less receive disability severance pay. In many cases, these individuals choose to waive their Navy disability retirement compensation in favor of DVA disability compensation, which is usually at an increased percentage. Applicants in this category who are subsequently found physically qualified by MEPS and are authorized to enlist must waive their disability compensation, regardless of source, and, if enlisted, the disability compensation waiver must be effective on the date of the member’s enlistment.

I was wondering the same thing. I have not received anything, but I think I was able to get an exemption because I joined the Blue and Gold program.

I called PERS yesterday about my status. I asked to confirm that I was in the IRR-ASP, and they asked me if I had less than 16 qualifying years. I told them that I did, and without hesitation he said that I was transferred to S2 status. I told him that I was of the understanding that BGO participants were an exception, and he responded by saying why didn't you tell me that in the first place. He then asked for my SSN and actually looked me up. He was able to confirm that I am still in the IRR-ASP. It looks like the BGO program saved me. To those following this thread that are in the IRR with less than 16 qualifying years, you may want to consider joining the BGO program. I can't say for sure that you will be able to remain in IRR-ASP or be transferred back, but it is worth a shot!

Before I found out that the BGO program would receive an exemption, I started the process of transferring to the IRR-VTU. It was long, slow and tedious. I made it to the point of scheduling with MEPS and that took about 2 months.
I'm in SELRES, but I want out ASAP. Anyone know if I can I still xfer to IRR? (I don't actually want to stay in, I just want to be left alone quicker, so if they boot me after the transfer, that's fine with me)
If you’re looking to get “out” out, why not just resign your commission? Did you take the SELRES affiliation money? Your CO and NOSC RESPAY would be the ones to ask, but I’m pretty sure you can buy that money out.
Long answer:
Because per instruction, resigning, which was my first choice, takes six months of lead time. I submitted my letter in October, and go figure, no one has seen it. Now, per recent NAVADMIN, resignations must be done online via NSIPS, as of January 1. I've been asking for 2 month for my command/the NOSC to get the routing set up in NSIPS so I can route the request. Still hasn't happened (and I can't do it for them). IRR (I've heard) can be prosessed in under 2 months.
Short answer:
IRR is the quickest way to be left alone.
I didn't take the money, and I'm well within my 2 year post active duty no mob time, so no reason I shouldn't be able to walk away.
In that case I’d drop your letter, go IRR-ASP, and be done. I do know there’s a quick turn on that because a guy in my unit was going to do that until they canned correspondence courses—he wants the option to maybe come back. Seems VTU is taking him longer than he would have taken to just peace out.
I resigned from IRR a year ago; I filled in my letter and sent it PERS 9-something or other. They said "we got it" and a few weeks later a nice letter showed up saying "thanks for your service, have fun in COMCIVFOR."
