Does switching from reserve to active duty require you to go through the entire process of MEPS again? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/does-switching-from-reserve-to-active-duty-require-you-to-go-through-the-entire-process-of-meps-again <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m currently in the Army Reserves but my contract will be ending soon. I want to switch over to active duty and I was wondering if this means I would have to go through the whole entire process of MEPS again. Since I have a recent PHA and dental on file, can I skip that portion of medical screening? I&#39;ve heard it is possible but I&#39;m also not sure because last time I went to MEPS was 2016.

However the best place to find the answer would be an Active Duty recruiter. As you will need to talk to them to start an enlistment contract for regular army. Also some of my soldiers that have made the switch had to also chose a different MOS. This may or may not be the case with you, but it is something you should be aware of. As 2 of my current soldiers have had to do this when switching from AGR, and Reserves to active duty.

Went to meps yesterday, as long as you have a new PHA from this fiscal year, you will go there just to sit with a counselor and sign a contract, won’t have to do anything else as long as you are all green on PHA SGT Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 28 Jun 2020 14:40:29 -0400 2020-06-28T14:40:29-04:00 Response by SGT Steven Palma made Jun 29 at 2020 11:15 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/does-switching-from-reserve-to-active-duty-require-you-to-go-through-the-entire-process-of-meps-again?n=6053472&urlhash=6053472 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I switched from reserves to active.
