Who do I give my signed DD 368 to when transferring from Army active component to Army National Guard?

rgr sir I have a recruiter but since I'm not going to be in the IRR my recruiter doesn't know who receives the 368 along with the DD4 we know it's back to the losing service unit but not too sure on if its S1 or to MPD or possibly transitions.

SPC Perez Kaufman - You can go from Active Duty to National Guard ... but it isn't a "transfer" the way that everyone thinks of it. What you do is a normal transition off of active duty and assess with the Army National Guard. You need to reach out to a NATIONAL GUARD recruiter* as it sounds like the recruiter you're talking to isn't one of them.

Now to another question that directly impacts you - If you want to become an officer, do you have a baccalaureate degree yet or at least have a few years of college under your belt? If not, then your option to become an officer in your situation is pretty much limited to going through ROTC as all state OCS programs require a minimum number of credit hours to have been completed just to apply (federal OCS requires a degree to apply). You CAN apply to become a Warrant Officer as there isn't a degree requirement for that program (you said 'officer', so I assume you were referring to a commissioned officer, but it's possible you were referring to a warrant officer as well).

On the plus side, you have all those great educational benefits you've earned while during your active duty enlistment! The Post-9/11 GI Bill can pay for the majority of college itself (depending on where you go that is). You'll likely be eligible for a number of different assistance programs and scholarships.

Again, talk to a National Guard recruiter as they can fill in a lot of the different programs you can pursue for your goal of becoming a commissioned officer in the National Guard.

My unit commander signed off on it MSG as I'm already on terminal leave to get out as it is there's also a reg that states if I need to for the purpose of a commissioning program I'm able to use one...also along with the 368 I also have a 4187 for voluntary separation for the same thing.

SPC Perez Kaufman - No reg but i saw a packet that i can put together for the purpose of accepting commission or commissioning program in another branch with a 368

SPC Perez Kaufman - If you are on terminal leave, talk to Officer accessions in the state you are going to apply and just put your application in when your enlistment is over. I don't know of a way to transfer from Active to Guard. Somewhere in all the stuff they give you when you get out, you should get the stuff about going Reserve.
