If a SM left as 2Lt 4 years ago and now wants to rejoin, do they keep rank and level (classes, ratings etc)?
Thx
He gets 2LT back after he completes level 1 and 2-1,
Start with 39-2:
6.2.2.1. Members electing to rejoin must reapply (CAPF 12 and fingerprint card) and be accepted by the unit and higher headquarters (see Chapter 3). Upon acceptance, members will be credited with previous achievements, but their records will reflect a break in service. Note: Reinstatement of grade of former members is neither automatic nor mandatory, but is at the discretion of the unit commander. Commanders must request grade reinstatement through channels in accordance with CAPR 35-5, CAP Officer & Noncommissioned Officer Appointments and Promotions.
35-5 says pretty much the same thing:
3.8. Former Members. A former member may be reinstated to the same grade held prior to voluntary membership termination, provided he or she qualifies for that grade under current criteria (including applicable professional development criteria). Requests for former member grade reinstatements for those members rejoining with a two year or less break in service may be based on the grandfathered duty performance promotion requirements until 11 August 2018. A recommendation for such reinstatement is neither automatic nor mandatory. If approved, the appointment will not be retroactive and the date of grade will be the date validated by National Headquarters upon reinstatement.
Don't forget section D on the F12 - Previous CAPID so they can match up. Otherwise, it may be processed as a "new" member.
Former CAPID isn't essential. They can use the SSAN.
