Awards and the like always follow you, unit to unit, enlistment to enlistment so long as you are in the same branch. There are some variations should you change service.

There are some restrictions though i.e. state national guard awards cannot be worn on active component uniform (Army). Only your current rank can be worn though.

Everything carried over because there was no break in service so prior service seemed odd since it was not a full six-year term in Reserves.<br />Just make sure you have all documentation to prove prior service. Mine was excluded after I was discharged because somebody goofed and left out my Reserve time which also included BCT and AIT plus all those months of drills. The Army also deducted all my Reserve and training pay for some reason even though I attended all drills and the training. That never made any sense to me.

What makes you a prior service is that you spent 180 days of active duty. You always be considered prior service and never stopped or started. The only thing that stop was your time and service and your pay. Your recruiter should be telling you all of this all your unit administrator. Use your chain of command use your system you should have a sponsor Response by SFC Wanda Estes made Jan 22 at 2020 8:54 PM 2020-01-22T20:54:19-05:00 2020-01-22T20:54:19-05:00 CW2 Larry Loughlin 5549696 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, it does, and yes, you can wear badges/awards.
