Tricky question! 2 things ought to happen: 1) Regular Army gives you a thumbs up and 2) your NG releases you. You should contact the branch manager at Army HRC for detail information, once done just follow the process.

See if there is a need for your job skills, if not, you probably can’t transition, all about openings and needs. Plus other factors such as age etc
