I will be getting out of the army soon and after spending a few years getting my degree I may consider joining the reserves or guard. I had a few questions though.

Will I lose rank if I’m out for about 3-4 years?

Is it possible to reclass and join the reserves/guard? Will I have to go back to AIT

Is it possible to commission with my degree? Will I have to attend any sort of OCS?

You are eligible to join the Reserve Component six months from ETS. You need to go sit in the Reserve Transition briefing at your installation, all of this is covered in that briefing

Why not get your degree while in the reserves/guard?

Why wouldn't you have to go to AIT? Reclass is getting a new MOS, that is what AIT is for to train you in your MOS.

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
