My BC just called me and has asked me if he can find me orders for a year if I would be willing to stay, but I have my heart set on going active because I am looking out for my family and I want to do what I was trained to do. So my question is what or how do I approach this without burning Bridges?

So it's basically is an either/or situation. Either you take the 1 year ADOS and stay in the unit (meaning after a year you are back in regular drill status) or continue to try and go AD and leave the unit. If your civilian job situation is good, then continue to try to go AD. I haven't heard of too many folks being successful with going AD (have you heard of reducing the force?) but if you've got a good career counselor/recruiter telling you otherwise, then go for it.

take ADOS, prior service to active may not be possible now a days but check "Prior Service Business Rules " or your local recruiter.

That was something I was wondering SSG, with AD cutting back is ADOS going to become a norm or AGR? I like my unit and the people in it thus far, but I do entertain the idea of AD for more security or more experience.

Do what is best for you and your family. Keep the 7 Army values when you do give your answer. Since it is an option weigh them both positive and negative. Good luck on your journey and know there is some on you can talk to about every thing.
