contact your local NOSC (Naval Operations Support Center) and talk to someone about becoming FTS (Full Time Support). If you don't have a rating or experience in working with a rating though, it will probably be pretty hard. Active duty is pretty full. If you know someone at the local NOSC, a lot of time they call people up to do admin in there for them, so it helps.

Assuming that your normal non-reserve job is either quit or on hold, it shouldn't be too difficult. If you want a guarantee of seeing action though, and you want to fly jets, I'd screw the Navy and take Air Force, get good marks, and become a bomber, F22, or C-SAR helicopter pilot. If you enjoy ship-based operations, (in comparison to Air Force equipment) low-tech aircraft and surprisingly good service-member food, then stick with the Navy and work for your goal, but either way, you'll be able to avoid marine convoy duty or army door-to-door... unless you get shot down, which there's a 99.999999% chance of not happening.

Its terribly hard actually. Reserves is Undermanned and Active Duty is at strength or overmanned, depending on rating. Your Reserve unit would have to sign off on you going Active, and if they are short handed they won't be letting you go.

Hey mtmeggido, why not say these things to someone in our great military to their face instead of hiding behind your computer. Show how brave you are(not).
To answer the actual question, I don't know, I would talk to a recruiter to see if they have any idea. Sorry I'm not much help!

tracy says i'm the one asking irrelevant questions. lol.
i guess joining the navy and air force is a good way of avoiding the black hole of iraq....and still get those benefits. but uncle sam needs you in iraq. where's that patriotism, zombie?
although i think some navy doctors who fight with marines have come back in body bags/transfer tubes.
