Command Career Counselors

 
Below are frequently asked questions and concerns by Command Career Counselors (CCC) regarding the transition process from the Active Duty Component to the Reserve Component (AC2RC), and the process to affiliate service members into the Selected Reserve (SELRES). If you require additional assistance after viewing this information, please contact MNCC at 833-330-MNCC (6622).

What role does the Reserve Processing and Affiliation Center (RPAC) facilitate in the Enlisted AC2RC transition process?
RPAC facilitates the transition of enlisted service members approved through Career Waypoints (C-Way) or an approved NAVPERS 1306/7.  RPAC will make the transition as smooth as possible by streamlining the transition process.

What instruction governs the Enlisted AC2RC process?
Please reference MILPERSMAN 1306-1501, the governing instruction on Enlisted Active Component to Reserve Component (AC2RC) transition procedures.

What do I need to do to start the process?
Refer to the MILPERSMAN 1306-1501 for guidance on submitting SELRES applications.
Sailors who do not receive a Reserve Component (RC) quota prior to leaving Active Duty must contact a Navy Reserve Recruiter if they desire to affiliate with the RC as a SELRES Sailor.

How does the service member apply for a SELRES quota if they currently have an approved Active Duty quota?
Refer to MILPERSMAN 1160-140 for information on returning an Active Duty quota to apply for a SELRES quota.

When does the SELRES C-Way Reenlistment quota expire? 
30 days after your separation date if no contact is made.

How do I find out if the service member qualifies for an affiliation bonus?
Bonus eligibility will be determined based on the latest guidance from CNRFC, Enlisted Incentives (N112). You can view the current policy at https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/n-codes/n1/cnrfc_n112/SitePages/Home.aspx (CAC enabled website)
