Don’t know if this is the right place to ask but I’ve been out of the army for six months and I got out a 1LT. Now currently looking to go back in but reserves. I talk to a recruiter today. They said it shouldn’t be no problem getting back in but I have to go enlisted because I got out through REFRAD. Is this accurate?

Even when you are refrading, you should be moved to the IRR. Talk to a reserve recruiter.

Thank you. Continue to strive for greatness and prosper throughout life!

Correction: I’ve been out of the army for six months now.

I was wondering if I needed to go to the national guard or not lol. Good looking out.

There’s no way. Your recruiter is an either idiot or actively trying defraud you of career opportunities out of their own selfish pursuit of bodies for enlisted recruit training.
