I ets in January 2017, was told I would not be able to go active because of a medical condition I got while I was in the guard. The medical condition has givin me a permenant profile but no restrictions, and there is medication to control it. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on being switched over from the guard to active without a break in service if possible.

I'm currently Active duty and my ETS is around 6-7 months, I was planning on re-enlisting for FT Bragg but my request got shot down by the Army.
So I've been exploring other options and came across the National Guard and was given an option to reclass into the 15 series with an open training slot, which I am interested in Because it would set me up with training for a civilian job in aviation.
Now the only thing that's holding me back from signing is the fact that I lose all my benefits and could be stuck without a job after training which is a no-go with three kids.
Does the Guard offer help or do they work with civilian employers to help secure a job after training?
Do they offer any kind of housing allowance if I'm going to School?
How do I switch from the Montgomery GI Bill to the Post 9/11?
Does the Guard offer help and guidance with the transition process or am I on my own in the civilian sector and have to find a job immediately?
I am going to talk to the RCCC in the next couple of weeks but just trying to get info if anyone has been through this situation. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
