I'm not going to lie and tell you that I know because I don't. However I believe that IRR time is mitigated by subsequent re-enlistments. That the 8 years all soldiers are contractually obligated to under their intial enlistment can be served on active duty under a second enlistment and this service would fullfill the intial 8 year contract as well as the second enlistment. I am trying to find a good source to verify if this correct.
