PERS-911 won't release from IRR to USAFR

Gee, in October the Navy seemed eager to purge the masses from the IRR... this is bureaucracy for its own sake.

If it were me I would start pulling out knives and be asking my Congressman/Senators' offices for help.

Was the back-channel advocacy necessary from @grose3 and Mongo? Any tips for others here on how to do what you did?

I think it was. When my 368 was submitted, they probably looked at 288/17, said this guy's just trying to get out, he has 2 years left! Denied! But going in the back way, they were able to get the context of my request - I'm not particularly useful to the Navy where I am, my career isn't going anywhere here anyways, and the Air Force is hurting for rated aviators. I composed a memo explaining my situation and request and I believe it took an exception to policy at the PERS-9 level. That's just my take on it and I could be wrong.

@snake020 That was my next step. I was just about to call them before this.
