I have a buddy who recently joined AD and wants to switch to reserves. Is this possible?

READ UPDATE!!
He's OCONUS and has mentioned he will purposely fail a PT test, and I talked him out of it. He wants to move to the Reserves, but from the looks of it, he CANNOT. He heard what he needed to hear and the consequences of Malingering. I appreciate the responses, but any answer after this edit, will not be read by myself.

Screw that. If he plans to intentionally fail a PT test why would we want to enable him at all?

So, I would recommend that your buddy complete his 3 years and 22 weeks of his RA contract. Then when it's time to reenlist he can tell his career counselor that he wants to serve in the AR for the last 4 years and 30 weeks of his contract.

If he fails PT he also fails the Reserves to tell him that if he is going to play that route, then he is in fit to serve all.

It's not that he can't pass, he said he would purposely fail one... I disagree with it

SPC(P) (Join to see) - That is what I meant, that when a soldiers purposely fails to get his way, is not fit to serve, because that the willful decision is selfish and that will happen in other situations, worst when deployed.
