Army Active-Duty Time during training and IRR

[DD214_DOC]

Does any of the time on active duty during internship, residency, or fellowship count towards the 4 year post-ADSO IRR obligation? Or, does the 8 year clock not start until you report to your first utilization assignment?

According to Enclosure 3 (page 22) of the most current version of the DoDI 6000.13: "Time spent on AD in military GPE may be credited toward satisfying the RC MSO".

In doctor terms, they should allow for the reserve (RC) to be paid back while in GME (GPE) in order to satisfy the mandatory service obligation of what is usually four years. But remember, it's the Army...

It counts.

I know this will necro this thread, but I just spoke with someone who got out in the past 2-3 months about this very matter. They were told that their time in residency and fellowship does NOT count towards their 8-year MSO and they got out with a 3.5 year IRR obligation.

Did they train at a civilian hospital? If they did residency in the military, those years absolutely count towards IRR obligation. They should have had that fixed prior to separating.

I had a friend get out this summer. Only had a year left on IRR. Did residency and 4 year payback in the military and that was it.

Nope, trained at the same MTF as I. I suspect this person got screwed. I didn’t have the heart to show her what DoDI 6000.13 says.

Yeah, got screwed over by someone who doesn't actually know the rules. At this point, I don't know what his options are to correct this foulup.

I would suggest applying to the ABCMR http://www.aschq.army.mil/supportingdocs/Applicants Guide to the ABCMR.pdf It has been my experience in the past, that while the office itself knows pretty much nothing, they do reach out to the SME for each individual situation and take corrective action (or not) based on that advice. It takes a little while, but, rather than doing nothing...

Thank you. I will pass this along to her.
