IRR and TIS waivers

P

Hello everyone,

I am looking to get some clarification on a matter regarding TIS requirements for certain designators (particularly IP, SUPPO, CWO I-SEL) and have not gotten an answer from my recruiter. I served 5 years active and 3 in IRR. At first, I was told I qualify for ISEL for CWO due to GPA and OAR but upon reading the PA, the criteria says

“Time in Service (TIS): No more than 5 years of total active service (or cumulative in-active TIS)”

Wouldn’t inactive include IRR, where I would technically have >5 years and not be considered eligible for ISEL? And for IP it states a waiver is required for

“Qualifying service between 72 months and 120 months.”

Again, what includes “qualifying service?” does this include IRR as well or just time on active duty? This matter is a big deal in my situation, as it’s the difference between ISEL and potentially needing a waiver (which could be denied) just to apply to these programs. Any clarification or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What do you mean you haven't gotten an answer from your recruiter? Did you actually ask them?

Yes, I asked Monday and was told they’d look into it. Saturday now and nothing. Planned to follow up Monday if I don't find out anything before but figured I could get an answer on the forum.

You should have followed up sooner. Just because you're not contacted back doesn't mean your recruiter has an update or has the answer. How many times have we forgotten to email/text back someone because other things get in the way?

Yeah and I get that bc I’ve been busy as well, but since I haven’t received a response and it’s now the weekend, I decided to post on an active navy forum that I assumed was for questions like this. I don’t see what the harm is with that. Worst case I don’t get an answer and I ask again Monday.

Yes and I get that but your recruiter knows your record and profile more than any of us here. The language in the PA is fairly cut and dry as well, either you meet ISEL criteria or you apply to the normal OCS board either needing or not needing a waiver.

I understand you wanted a response from your recruiter right away but your recruiter is working with many other people. In this case it is highly possible the recruiter is having the processor verify your TIS, that is what I would do if I had any questions.

Unless things have changed IRR doesn't count. If I was your recruiter I would look at your DD214 and for total active service if is said 5 years 0 months and 0 days (or less) I would feel confident about your eligibility.

Now go enjoy your weekend.
