I didn't know if you'd ever seen this at all....
I transitioned in '72 and it was a fairly simple process even though I had a couple of years left on my enlistment. Visit your retention NCO and learn what you can there. This gives him a heads up that you are considering a transition and he will get credit for that. He (or she as applicable) will be more cooperative with you in your next step which should be a visit to your PAC-NCOIC (NOT a CLERK - even if they are a friend) go to the top or bad stuff can happen.
Follow to the 'T' whatever direction you get and things will go smoothly (or as smooth as things can go in the Army). Make certain you have a spot in the ROTC program before you begin this process and be sure they will lock you in.
You will be discharged from the Army and very quickly re-enlisted in the ROTC and it is done.
If you are planning to return to AD following your commission, be sure the AF will pick you up.
If the military is in a draw down there may not be a slot for you causing you to enter the AFR until things are more favorable.
That is how I got relegated to the USAR. When I graduated in '74 there was very few spaces available in my branch and it took another four years for an opportunity to arise and by then I was entrenched in a career and a small family to support; End of story.
Hope this helps and wish you the best in your pursuits.
