Is it possible to serve in multiple branches of the military ?

I'm currently an NCO in the Army National Guard. I've been enlisted, active duty Navy, NCO active duty Air Force, enlisted, Army Reserve, Commissioned Army National Guard, and now... NCO Army National Guard. The military has never been a 'career' for me (even though I started this ride in 1980), it was just a way to give back to our good, old USA.

I believe that you can serve in any of the branches you want as long as you qualify and have completed your prior commitment with an honorable discharge. I am a prior active Marine and retired from the Army after serving over 20 years combined. I have had numerous MOS's in the Army due to having to switch at reenlistment time to get into fields that had the opportunity to get promoted. Been retired now for 27 years after serving 21 years and proud of it. 1st Sgt U. S. Army retired and former active Marine Sgt.

You can serve anywhere. My Lt started as a Marine now he is AF. There was a guy who went to every single branch.

served as combatives instructor and later OSI Agent in USAF from 1959-1970. before switching to US ARMY as a CID agent.....appointed as a WO1 and eventually retired as a CW4

I served in the Army and Air Force, I would say don't change service without a much better reason then you just gave. I joined the Regular Army in 1962 for three years. When I Ets'd I was out for 9 months then joined the California Air National Guard for 6 years. Things were not going well so I quit the Air Guard and Joined the Army Guard for 2 years. Things were not going well there so I joined the \Army Reserves 20 years. I retired in 2005. If you change service you have to remain in your last service for ten years before you can retire. If you change service at 15 years in you have to stay in that service for 10 years until you have 25 years in, if you get caught in a downsize before then you may not be able to retire!

Back in the 70s I knew several SeaBees that went airforce Redhorse . You got a pay grade jump . I was looking at it when the airfarce disbanded it, so scratch that idea

I have a good buddy I served with in the army. After his tour was up in the Army he I listed in the Marines and served for 2 tours in Irac and 1 in Afghanistan so yes you can serve in more than one branch but only one at a time.

Not at the same time, no. lol I have served in the Navy, the Army and the AF, of which I am still in the AFreserve. :) Maybe not on active duty, but in the reserves you can branch jump all you wish. :)

I started out active duty Navy, got out, after a few years went Army reserves, than went ANG, back to the Army reserves, and ended my career in the Air Guard ( 2 OEF/OIF deployments) retired in 2007. Only went to basic with the Navy.

I served two branches, Navy for 9, Coast Guard for 12. Very similar jobs, OS was my rating. Predominantly a sea-going rating. Worked at a MEPS for my last 3 years in the Navy and met quite a few people switching services or prior service entering a different branch. One guy was entering into his third branch of service. You'll find your niche eventually.
