I’m requesting Conditional Released. I’m an E4 in the Army National Guard, with possibilities of promoting to E5 soon. But I’ve always wanted to become a Marines, and since I’m having economic issues, I’m trying to go to an Active Component. I’ve heard that if I transfer to the Marines I’ll have only 2 more years on becoming E5 or I’ll be forced to get out of the Marines. My ETS is in December 3rd and it will be my 6th year in service. Can someone help me?

Don't forget, transferring to the Marines you will have to go back through boot camp.

If you go to the Marines you have to go through everything again, boot camp, mos training the whole thing. You may get E3, but a lot of guys have to do it as E2...I mean, if you're REALLY motivated go for it, but personally I would just try and do SF or 75th RR

Here's your answer. Scroll down to paragraph 3.h for the "High Year Tenure" info for different ranks.
