In this case, you may be qualified for the Reserve Officer Active Status Panel (ROASP). This panel normally convenes in February.

Individuals wishing to minimize their time in the IRR/ISL and who are eligible, should apply to the October Regular to Reserve panel due to eResume submission deadlines. E-Resumes are typically due in January of every assignment year.
Military Service Obligation (MSO) does not guarantee reserve affiliation. However, if a member still has a MSO requirement is offered a reserve commission, the member is obligated to accept. Involuntary separation negates a member's MSO.
