This may be a broad question. I recently came to the Navy Reserves about a year ago after spending close to eight years in the Army Guard. I know it seems that I am all over the place, but the opportunities that I were told were in the Navy Reserves just are not there. Air Guard/ Air Reserves have more education incentive and I would like to continue my education. I just completed my Bachelor's and I am looking to transfer into the officer side of things. I just have no clue how to go about doing all of this or if that is even an option.

It is an option, but it will probably take a while. The sooner you start the process the better.
When I was leaving the Guard I had an NCO who got his Conditional Release to get commissioned in the Navy Reserve and I got mine to go to the Army Reserve.
Good Luck

Thank you sir! I appreciate your honesty. I am just trying to look at what would benefit me more. I jumped into the Navy Reserves without research at all, that is entirely my own fault. I graduated with my Bachelor's and it was a change of mindset. Now I am trying to look at more options to build my career and get my graduate degree and I just see more potential elsewhere.

What are you looking for, the Navy also has commissioning plans that may help you reach your goals.

Talk to your command career counselor and see if they can give you direction. What area are you in as well? I may be able to assist you.
