How to transition from National Guard to active duty?

3.27K

I know I was recently giving my branch 11A and my unit 278th but I know once I reach Captain I am looking and waiting to go full out Active Duty. I understand now every single year the army commission to many 2ndLT. I was wondering what are my chances of get active duty if I was to wait until a First LT or Captain? I understand I have an 8 year commitment but I don't want to be in the guard for 8 years.

Want to transfer from National Guard to Active Duty. Can anyone give me tips?

Greetings thank you for taking your time to read my question. I am currently an E3 and am part of the Florida National Guard. My MOS is 91B diesel mechanic and I joined the guard 11/20/2012. I am trying to get all the info that I can find on transferring to active duty. I am more than willing to reclass to a different MOS to do so. I am still pretty new and don't quite understand the prior service rules completely. I was wondering if there are any active duty recruiters from Florida that can shine a light on the subject.

Thank you very much for your attention.
