I just enlisted in Navy and I told the navy classifier at MEPS that I wanted to go reserves. Anyway I picked my job (MA) and received a ship date well on my contract it states I my name am enlisting into the Naval Reserves for a period of 4 yrs active and 4 years reserves. I took this as 4 yrs active reserves 4 yrs IRR. However, I then look at my A-school contract and it states 4 yrs active duty. So my contract states I'm going reserves and active duty and I think something got messed up in the paperwork process. Will I have to go back down to MEPS and redo everything. Thank you

Request for a change of the enlistment contract if it is wrong so that the proper indication of active and reserve duties will be correct.

Does it say Active Reserve or Active? During the time you're at boot camp and the time you're at A school, you're technically active (activated reserve). Does it say that you'll be reserve again at your first duty station?

Make sure you go and get it squared away ASAP. If you go an raise your right before it get changed theres nothing they can do for you.
Thats why I tell everyone to make sure they read their contracts BEFORE they sign anything. Dont ever let MEPS try to speed your through the paperwork.
Good job catching that though. Good luck.

That's why the signature block says that you have read and understand everything in the contract. Go active, it'll be better for you.

this could be bad if you don't get it sorted out quickly... that contract will be the single most important document you will have in your time in the Navy.
Make sure the rewritten contract is what you want before you sign it...
Chances are, that you'll have to spend another wonderful day at MEPS speaking to those wonderful petty officers...
have fun...

Ha Ha Ha. If you have already taken the oath you are stuck. Why would you want to be an MA anyway??
