I ETS'd from active duty back in 2003 and have been in the National Guard and Reserves ever since. For the past few years I've been trying to get back into active duty but every recruiter I speak to tells me that they're not accepting prior service back into active duty due to the cutbacks. Are there any recruiter out there that can give me some insight to this? Thank you in advance.

You talked to every recruiter.. did that include other services? If not, why not?
Are you at least 64” in height. Check out being a loadmaster in the AF..

I am a recruiting center leader. As an E6 without Airborne you have to hold the MOS of 35P. if you are an E6 with airborne and hold MOS of either 35F or 35G you can come back in pending otherwise qualified. If you do not hold those MOS you have one option and that is a acasp to 35P. Those are your only options. It is easy for people to sit back and say it is a political matter or recruiters are lazy. Just stop. Do your research. Here is the link to the current USAREC message pertaining to this issue.
