If I reclass into civil affairs, do I go to the same course as AD? Will the unit I transfer to require an interview or selection process?

If I were to reclass into civil affairs do I go to the same course as active duty or are there reserve training courses to reclass? Also, I'm told the unit I'll transfer to doesn't require an interview or selection process, is that pretty typical of reserve CA units?

A unit that does not require an interview or selection process? SSG Private RallyPoint Member Does that sound like a unit for someone with a 12 series MOS?

Unfortunately, AD pipeline is different than Reserve component. AD requires a selection process similar to SFAS before attending its respective Q Course. PSYOP is the same way.

I was CA for 8 years and now I am a 79V. CA reserves requires a 107 GT and is conducted in two two week phases at Fort McCoy. There is no interview process any more. As long as you qualify you simply file a transfer request through your UA or S1 to a local CA unit. You can call me if you have more questions. [login to see] .
