I was told it was difficult to transfer from active duty Navy to Air Force Reserves. Is this true? If so, why?

1st Know what you Really want to do. Ambivalence is not an option 2nd Find a really good recruiter. 3rd Be firm, adamant but always respectful with your chain of command about your wish to transfer.

It’s only difficult if your command refuses to release you. Otherwise, it takes a 368 which is a conditional release form. I have assisted other components before and that was the hardest step. Best wishes.

Just need a conditional release to transfer. The problem is your unit/branch has to agree to the conditional release. Talk to an Air Force Reserve recruiter and see if they can help facilitate the transfer. Also another option is looking at the Air Guard. I transferred from Naval Reserve to Air National Guard.
