I got put in the IRR by mistake and this happened to me. It was not until I started talking to guard units that I found this out. Had to go to the BCMR to get that issue fixed which took me 4 months and was lucky to get it fixed. Otherwise I would have been SOL. So, since I was out completely sounds like it might be a longer process.
It is longer, but definitely not impossible. We have at least two guys come to our unit who had to be recommissioned. I wouldn't let that deter you if you really wanted back in.
