In the letter I wrote, i asked to be released from active duty service.

I just received a copy of my DD Form 214. Type of Separation says "resignation" and Narrative Reason For Separation says "Reduction in Force".

My question for the group is, did I unknowingly resign my commission when I asked for separation? What impact does this now have on me if #1 I choose to enter a reserve unit and/or #2 I try to get back into active duty?

Thanks ...

In a nutshell it is a gigantic pain in the ass to get your commission back. Depending on how good your reserve recruiter is it could take anywhere from a couple of months to a year. Another roadblock is that after 90 days break in service your aeronautical orders get dropped and you have to get those back. That's more paperwork and time wasted. If you and your unit don't mind the waiting its all good. Good luck!
