for PS persons described in chapter 3 or disqualifications described in chapter 4, except as provided below:

if all convictions—
(1) Occurred before applicant’s placement on the TDRL.
(2) Previously were disclosed.
b.

(2) All convictions or adjudications previously were disclosed.
c.
Such persons will be enlisted in the permanent pay grade held on the day before the date their names were placed
on the TDRL.
d.
Enlistment of such persons will be made without medical examination if—
(1) No intervening illness or injury since the examination resulted in removal from the TDRL.
(2) The person signs a statement to that effect on DA Form 3283 (Statements of Member Removed from the
Temporary Disability Retired List).
e.
Persons who have incurred an illness or injury since the examination resulting in their removal from the TDRL
must undergo a complete medical examination. They must qualify for enlistment under medical standards given in AR
40–501, chapter 3. (A person does not have to meet medical standards for the specific disability that caused their name
to be placed on the TDRL.)
f.
Persons will be enlisted for 3 years in the RA. Enlistment must be in the same component from which the Soldier

applicants, regardless of rank, will be obtained from HRC. Enlistment will be accomplished in the same manner as all
other PS enlistment. DD Form 1966 is required and a REQUEST reservation will be made. For those applicants not
MOS qualified or who require BCT or AIT (if placed on TDRL before completion), BCT and AIT may be obtained via
normal REQUEST reservation. For AR, assignment to a TPU is required. Persons enlisting in the AR may enlist for a
period of 1 to 6 years.
