Yep, I just did it. Have him talk to his unit's readiness NCO and get the packet started. Talk to an active-duty recruiter. Be warned though, the National Guard doesn't have to let him go, though they probably will. Also, it takes a while; it took 2 months of almost daily phone calls for me to get my paperwork finished.

First he needs to communicate with his Commander why he will be requesting to switch. Then he needs to speak to an Active Duty Recruiter. There he will fill out and complete a DD form 368 and a DA form 4187. The recruiter will send them with him to his unit. The unit will forward them to the appropriate level for signature, accompanied by a "poor me" letter explaining his need to switch to the Active Component (AC).
As a family, you must also discuss the possibility of a rank reduction. Active Duty Recruiting Command (for determination of enlistment rank) do not recognize PLDC (now WLC), BNCOC or ANCOC from the Reserve or Guard components. They will recognize one down (example: Graduated from BNCOC, will get credit for PLDC). He will not have to attend the NCOES again, but will possibly lose rank as a result of attending a non AC NCOES.
Does it happen, the office I supervise usually transfers one a month from a Reserve/Guard Component (RC) to an AC. They regain their rank usually in 1 year.

Yes. The active duty Armed Forces will always take precedence over the reserves. I went from the U.S. Marine Reserves in 96 to the US Navy Active.

he should have no problem. i enlisted in the national guard and decided right after basic training that i wanted to go army full time so you shouldn't have any problems.

As long as he is not on alert for deployment - he can transfer to Active with no problem.
Hint: make sure that he properly 'clears' his Guard unit, this is the major thing that holds this up. (He will not be released until he has turned in all his government property for example.)

Sure, If he meets the requirements of active duty. My sister was back and forth from Active and reserves and she's retired now. Good luck to him.

Yes. As long as his service record is in good standing, it will be easy. God bless you both and thank's for your service to the USA.
