2. The applicant requests that his discharge be revoked and he be reinstated in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).
3. The applicant states that he never requested to be discharged and his separation was an error by the Army Reserve Personnel Command (AR-PERSCOM).
4. The applicant’s military records show that he was serving on active duty as a Regular Army captain when he was approved for separation under the Voluntary Separation Incentive program. He was transferred to the IRR and appointed as a Reserve commissioned officer effective 1 August 1994. He had a 9-year and 1 month remaining obligation.
5. On 14 January 2000, the applicant was discharged from the Army Reserve. There is no evidence of record that he was required to be separated or that he requested separation.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record, and that submitted by the applicant, provides sufficient evidence that he was not subject to mandatory separation from the IRR and he should be returned to a Ready Reserve status effective the date of his discharge.
2. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case for the individual concerned be corrected by:
a. revoking the order that discharged him effective 14 January 2000; and
b. returning him to the IRR effective 14 January 2000.

She further states that had she known this she would not have reenlisted for another 3 years. On 4 May 2000, the ARPERSCOM published orders discharging her from the USAR effective 10 May 2000. Therefore, the Board finds that her discharged orders should be revoked and that she be reinstated to her previous status in the USAR with credit for all drills (points only) that she earned during the appropriate retirement years.

Orders Number 018-010, dated 18 January 2001, issued by the Military Department of Indiana, directs that the applicant be discharged from the ARNG and as a Reserve member of the Army, effective 18 December 2000.

Army Regulation 135-178 establishes policies governing the administrative separation of enlisted soldiers from the Army National Guard of the United States and the USAR. The evidence provided by the applicant shows that he requested transfer to the IRR, not the Retired Reserve.

The applicant states, in effect, that his VSI payments should be reinstated and his transfer to the Retired Reserve be revoked.

If a VSI recipient becomes ineligible to continue to serve in the Ready Reserve, through no fault of his or her own, the soldier will be transferred to the Retired Reserve and continue to receive...
