https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-hard-is-it-to-go-from-national-guard-to-active-duty <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My sister in law is friends with a 20 year old young lady in the National Guard. The young lady has completed basic and MOS school for 31 B (military police). She want to transfer to active duty army. Her national Guard Commanding Officer says she will have to repeat basic and MOS school. I am not sure about this. The only thing I can figure is she may owe the National Guard time. She has not talked to a recruiter. Any advice or wisdom would be appreciated.

Best bet is talk to a recruiter about it. She will only have to repeat AIT if she changes her MOS as stated below by MSG Johnston.

She may owe the NG time- all she can do is ask an AD recruiter.

I feel she would have to square up with NG before she was granted a release. Not 100% sure. SPC David S.

The reserves first. So I did, since I was going back to the same MOS as an active MP I was not required to go back through basic, but I did have to go back through AIT.
