I am about to enter my reenlistment window in December. I will be 12 months from ETS. Can I go active duty from reserves using reenlistment?

Not the way you are thinking. You should apply for a conditional release and active duty has to accept you. It is a process and not guaranteed. Or you can wait until you ETS and enlist through a recruiter to active duty (still not a guarantee) .
This link talks about conditional release: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/guardandreserve/a/reservetransfer.htm

Can You Transfer from the Reserves to Active Duty?

Information and procedures about transfering from the National Guard or Reserve Military Forces to the Active Duty Forces.

SPC(P) Private RallyPoint Member No... it is not a reenlistment option. You need to do a DA 368 Condition Release through your unit, and then go see a recruiter to go active. Once signed it is valid for 6 months you can go active any time during that time. You also need to talk to you Career Counselor now and let them know you intent and keep them involved in the process, I am sure they know a local recruiter in your area.

Yes and many have but you need to consult active component recruiter, regarding your rank and specialty.
