I have heard that I may need to repeat tech school if I want to come into an Air Guard ammo slot. Is that true? Is it the unit that decides, or is it Air Guard policy?If you had a five level AFSC years ago but have been separated for a long time, do you have to repeat tech school to go back in Air Guard?2020-04-12T23:19:27-04:00SPC Steve Thomas5770022<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was a 2w051 (ammo) in the Air Guard years ago.

After X amount of time a 5 level becomes a 3 level and eventually a 1 level.Response by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 13 at 2020 12:26 AM2020-04-13T00:26:46-04:002020-04-13T00:26:46-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member5771267<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had a 9 year break in service after I got off AD USAF. When I joined the army guard my air force AFSC (3E571) was used to grant me the Army 82C MOS. I didn't have to go back to basic or AIT.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 13 at 2020 10:40 AM2020-04-13T10:40:40-04:002020-04-13T10:40:40-04:00SSgt Private RallyPoint Member5771373<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1596592" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1596592-sgt-steve-thomas">SPC Steve Thomas</a> I held a 3-Level before I was medically separated. I no longer hold said 3-level in my prior AFSC because it 'expires' after 2 years. It can be 'reactivated' w/ training & the proper level to sign off on that training.<br /><br />I was told that, if I were interested in going back in to Security Forces, I would need to go back through Tech School since I've been out for so long. I'm kind of an old man to be playing such a young man's game - especially at the rank I'm coming back in at. So I'm opting for a new AFSC...lolResponse by SSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 13 at 2020 11:04 AM2020-04-13T11:04:05-04:002020-04-13T11:04:05-04:00CMSgt Donald ONeill5771938<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No , your tech school is good .
