Enlisted Recall

DEFINITE RECALL

The Enlisted Definite Recall Program is designed to give enlisted SELRES personnel the opportunity to fill gapped or vacant billets across the Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (TAR - Training and Administration of the Reserve) communities. This is a completely voluntary program and includes duty stations across the Navy, to include OCONUS and CONUS installations, ships, squadrons, and Navy Reserve Centers (NRC). All recalls are on a temporary basis, ranging from 12 to 36 months in length. Some recalls have the an opportunity for extension not to exceed a total of 36 months in length.
*For more information regarding the Definite Recall program, please email with the Subject "Enlisted Recall".

You will be sent Recall Eligibility Pre-screen form to complete and return to CNRC N1. If eligible for recall, you will be sent the Application Form.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My prescreen says I am ineligible to apply. What do I need to do?

The reason you are ineligible will be notated on the prescreen when it is returned to you. To correct the discrepancy, contact your NRC and advise them of what needs to be corrected.

How do I know if my package is missing anything?

PERS-92 will email you directly if there is anything missing from your package; however please ensure you fully read the Billet Advertisement and submit a completed package the first time to maximize the chances of selection. Some commands will make their selections prior to the close of the advertisement, so the earlier that a completed application is submitted, the better. If the missing documentation is not submitted by the time the commands are making selections, incomplete packages will not be considered.

How will I know if I have or have not been selected for a billet?

Once selections have been made, either the command or PERS-92 will contact all applicants and advise them of their selection status.

Once I am selected for a billet how long does the process take before I get my orders?

Depending on the billet start date, it could take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks for the orders to be processed.

How do I receive my orders?

PERS-92 will email you your orders as well as send them in message traffic.

How long will it be before I receive my order?

For OCONUS orders, members must have their orders in hand no later than 60 days prior to reporting to the NRC.
For CONUS orders, members must have their orders in hand no later than 30 days prior to reporting to the NRC.
