CNP issued a NAVADMIN yesterday that gives Navy (and other service) veterans who affiliate with SELRES a 1-year involuntary mobilization deferral if they affiliate more than 6 months after separation from active-duty. Those who affiliate inside of 6 months are still entitled to a 2-year involuntary mobilization deferral.
When joining active-duty, I felt comfortable knowing what the minimum service commitment was. For the reserves (Reference: BUPERSINST 1001.39F), I am a little less certain, and hoping someone on here might be able to help clarify for me. Provided you have not taken an affiliation bonus, have already met your 8 year minimum service obligation (MSO) on active-duty, and provided that you have not been notified of a pending mobilization, can you resign your commission in the reserves at any time? Any caveats there aside from the obvious war-time scenario?
Prior to signing on again, I want to make sure I fully understand the exit policy should family, civilian career, etc drive a future change of heart.
