Blue to Green Program

PO3 Private RallyPoint Member — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 20:04:44 -0500

To whom it may concern,

I am currently in the navy, and stationed in Guam. I am an E3 and wanting to switch branches of military to either the army or the marines. I am 100% not interested in the navy. I want to stay in and serve and fight for my country, but the navy is just not for me. I have a 5 year contract and joined 10jul13. My LPO is saying the "blue to green" program does not exist. Is there anyway I could switch branches before my contract is up? And does anybody know how I would go about doing so?

I have had a few troops over the years apply for Blue to Green but it is based on your current service releasing you and the Army having a slot for you.

Operation Blue to Green

Transfer from other military branches into the Army and continue your military career using the Operation Blue to Green program.

Looks like this is the form you would use to learn more:
