— FOR service members in tthe irr —
You’re in the IRR.
You Might Have More Options Than You Think.
Most service members in the IRR — Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force — don’t know what’s still available to them.
If you separated from active duty and were placed in the IRR — or if you're not even sure whether you're still in it — you're not alone. Most IRR members never hear from anyone about what's available to them.
No one explains the benefits of affiliating with the Selected Reserve, the drill pay you could be collecting, or the retirement points that are sitting on the table. Whether you served in the Navy or another branch, the IRR works mostly the same way — and the Navy Reserve may be an option you didn't know about. Prior-service members from any branch can affiliate with the right paperwork.
I'm not going to pretend I know your situation. But a 15-minute conversation is usually enough to figure out whether the Reserve makes sense for where you are right now. If it does, I'll show you exactly how it works. If it doesn't, I'll tell you that.

— what you'd get —
What Affiliating Could Mean for You
Whether any of this matters depends on your situation. That's what the call is for.
Drill Pay
Get paid for one weekend a month at your paygrade and years of service. Money you're currently leaving on the table.
TRICARE Reserve Select
Healthcare for you and your family at a fraction of civilian costs. This alone is worth the conversation.
Retirement Points
Every drill weekend adds points toward your 20-year military retirement. In the IRR, that clock is paused.
Security Clearance
If your clearance hasn't expired yet, affiliating keeps it active. Once it lapses, getting it back is expensive and slow.
A Recruiter Who'll Tell You If
The Reserve Isn't Right for You.
I'm not here to sell you on the Navy Reserve. I'm here because I have been exactly where you are.
I have seen what happens when good sailors and other service members separate without knowing their full options that is available for them.
I don't want that for you.
I've had this conversation hundreds of times. The sailors I respect most are the ones who ask the hard questions and make decisions with their eyes open not the ones who sign papers because a recruiter wore them down.
So ask me the hard ones. I'll give you straight answers.
If the Reserve is the right move for your life, I'll show you exactly why. If it isn't, I'll tell you that and point you in a better direction.
That's the only way I know how to do this job.
