a month or so ago I received orders to be a recruiter. I had to do an early reenlistment AUG 08 I am bonus eligible) without a bonus to have enough time in service, I have a school report date in July and duty report date in OCT. Orders have already been received. Yesterday, I was told I am going to be stop moved. My unit received orders yesterday for a deployment. Not sure if they are warning or hard. Although recruiting is not my dream, I was under the impression , also stated on my orders, that I am exempt from stop movement. What would change this, who and why? If anyone can clarify, give opinion or flat out answer please do so.

If you have orders in hand it is my impression you are good to go. You should already be on the unit's loss roster.

We had people in a similar situation in my last unit, and when our unit became flagged anyone with orders already was good to go; those without were not and branch had to juggle them around.

However, and probably most importantly to you, I don't have regulatory guidance for you, and I'm ashamed to say I wouldn't know where to find it for this instance. I'll try to do some research and find it but in the mean time hopefully someone that knows where the reg is can post it.

So far I found this:
