People around me are constantly flabbergasted at the complete lack of attention I give to poo poo we're all apparently supposed to be constantly doing. poo poo will figure itself out. If you want to re-enlist when it is your time then go do it. When you come time to ETS, you can do that. Or you can re-enlist. What you did now at this moment isn't going to matter at all. Follow this advice for a sane Army life.

Putting my E-3 hat on for a minute, what I would do is just say you're "still trying to decide" anytime anyone asks about it. There's no law or rule that says you HAVE to re-enlist OR decline and certainly not one that says you have to make the call 18 months out. I had a paralegal decide to re-enlist 2 weeks before her ETS.

What the gently caress could they possibly offer to make someone want to stay in past their service obligation if they were planning on getting out?

How does getting out of the Army after your service obligation work as an officer anyway? All the officers I've known/met have been guys that stayed in for 20 or more years and retired. I guess I'll know sometime in the next year or two on whether I want to stay in after my 3.5 years are up

You separate and put in paperwork to resign your commission. It's described in one of the ARs, you have to write a letter.

Mustang posted:How does getting out of the Army after your service obligation work as an officer anyway? All the officers I've known/met have been guys that stayed in for 20 or more years and retired. You put together a REFRAD (release/resignation from active duty) packet that includes some bullshit memos. I got my packet from another lt that resigned before me, just replaced his name with mine and signed them. Your BC/ bde cdr has to council you as part of the packet. Then you talk to your bde officer strength manager or whoever and send the packet up through them and play the waiting game. You'll get a memo from HRC or whoever saying that your REFRAD is accepted and then you wait on your official orders. Have fun doing ACAP or whatever the gently caress it's called. I got out earlier this year and purged all that poo poo from my brain. I might have the REFRAD packet in my gmail or wherever if you want it. Before I got out I sent a copy to all the lts in my BN because my BN sucked dick and now like 2-4 have submitted packets. Get hosed. If you want it I might be able to shoot you one. Do it. I couldn't be happier. Get the gently caress out. Do it. You submit the packet anywhere from 12 to 6 months from your requested ETS date. Do it. DO IT/.

Also, no. Your commission isn't resigned until your MSO (8 years) is up. You just resign from active duty and then the Reserve/National guard will not stop loving calling and emailing you even after you tell them to gently caress off over and over. $20,000 sign-on bonus! Oh yeah, nobody knows poo poo about the process. You learn things from other REFRADDERS about the process. you need... Register with ACAP and start that process Schedule Phase I and II physicals Talk to the reserve component career counselor and they have to sign a memo telling you "what the reserve can do for you!" On that note, the reserve counselor tried to blow smoke up my rear end. Telling me "oh you can make $800/month just working 2 days a month!" I called him on that bullshit. Told him he knows drat well that you're expected to do bullshit work from home and whatnot and not to lie to me with that "2 days a month" bullshit. He just signed my poo poo and that was that. There's some other poo poo I can't remember. Good luck.

Oh, that reminds me, did you know that you can refuse ACAP briefings? You can, and it's pretty easy! Tell your ACAP counselor that you do not require any further ACAP services. They may say a lot of words and stuff but tell them that you decline further services from ACAP. They fill out some form that I sure as gently caress am not gonna dig out, but they mark down what you didn't complete, and you take it to your CO to sign. He may bust your nuts but ultimately there's not much he can do. Bring that form back to ACAP when you are clearing, and lo and behold, you get your stamp and continue on your merry way. ACAP is fine if you joined up when you were 17 and just got popped off your momma's tit, but if you are a grown rear end fuckin' man or woman then it is pretty much worthless.

My unit botched my discharge and kicked me out of the IRR, and I don't have a reserve commission either. Not in my paperwork, and not anywhere that the army bothered to keep track of either. I only found this out when I asked a Civil Affairs career counselor to see if I could get into a local CA unit. I was going to have to submit a packet to a reappointment board that doesn't meet until next June. I cracked open a beer and celebrated freedom instead.

I signed into ACAP exactly one time out of the week or more that I was scheduled then spent the time at the gym or at home. Nobody gives a poo poo about officers on the brink of dipping out.

I love that quote in the DoD, because they rage so hard when you tell them you're getting out to be a civilian working in the same place, doing the exact same job, for three times their salary. And they can't pull any "But the mission, but freedom!" poo poo because you still do the exact same thing in the exact same seat. I especially like when they realize that this also implies that they made poor life decisions
