I went from the Active Marines to the Army Reserve and now am in the Army NG. Each transfer was after my initial enlistment was up, but it is possible to transfer during your enlistment.
Here's the catch:
First, they probably won't let her transfer because every unit is hard pressed for troops and numbers are the bottom line in most cases (hence the fat body overload in the Guard and reserves).
However, if they are up to par with their required personel, or even over, then they MIGHT be willing to let her transfer, seeing as she won't be happy if she stays.
Second problem is that once she transferes to the NG, if she decides she liked the reserve better, she has to go through the entire re-enlistment process- MEPS, ASVAB, etc. like she was never in. The only thing she won't do is repeat bootcamp and AIT. This is because the reserve is federal and the Guard is state. They are two totally different entities.
My best suggestion is talk to her chain of command and explain what she wants to do and why. From there it's up to them.

Do you have a particular Reserve unit in concepts? Does the Reserve unit have vacancies interior the MOS you're at present decreased in length to? NG and army Reserve MOSs ARE the comparable, in basic terms some MOSs are no longer represented interior the reserves, and a few are no longer represented interior the NG. the vast image is: the nationwide shelter is state funded/controled, and the Reserves are federally funded/controled. What your asking varies by way of state, and your state has mind-blowing administration over despite if to launch you to the Reserves, or no longer. the perfect theory from what i've got experienced, is to end your BCT/AIT and attempt to circulate once you come back. in case you opt for to circulate to a distinctive MOS interior the reserrves, then it may desire to be harder based on your particular concern.

all she needs is a signed DD368 from her commander. The biggest issue is if the unit will allow it.

It's possible, but they won't let her if she can only measure her service in months.
