I'm currently serving on active duty in Army, in trainee status. I've decided i should have gone reserve first to get a feel of how the military was. If there is anyway to transfer i would like to know.

no. you signed a contract agreeing to serve x number of years on AD in exchange for the training they are giving you.

Well it depends on your circumstances, You cold switch from active Marines to Acive Army and you can switch from Reserve and National Guard to active duty. But to go from full time to part time isnt that easy unless you have a good reason, if you are desperate u should try getting married and having alot ofkids or appeal for an early discharge. It only matters if you dont try, so I would advice talking to your base legal affairs officer or even try the chaplian, he may provide you with guidance and you might end up changing your mind, another thing is if your are still training u havent really gotten a good taste of the military life just stick it out cause once your through with the basic and AIT training its gets a little ewasier as you progress. Try going to collegetheres is an option for enlisted personnel to get a abesence of leave for you to complet a BS degree, look into it.

Hell no, The Army owns you. You signed a contract and are obligated to finish your active duty time. It is very easy to transfer from the reserves to active duty but not the other way. I recommend doing your time like the rest of us. This is going to be the hardest thing you ever do in your life but if you can do it, the rest of your life will be gravy.

Being in the field of recruiting, I have never been asked that question. From doing some research, I have found out that it is impossible to do it from AD Army to Army Reserves. Like everyone else has answered, Army Reserves to AD Army happens all the time in our area of recruiting. Army Strong! Stick out the rest of your time and come see me. LOL

Generally no you cannot, you will be contracted to the guard or reserve Most units are not gonna sign a release for at least a year 2. And thats not even counting, the Army is not taking prior service, which guardsmen and reservist are.

No you can't make that switch, you can go from Reserves to active at any point but not the other way around, you should have considered everything before getting signed up, sorry
