To be considered prior anything you'll need a DD-214. Only one way to get that - ETS. Good luck and Aim High.

From my understanding you are still in the military just on leave - you still get a paycheck for the time while on leave - not out until ETS. As well USAF my not want prior service - you really need to find that out - I would guess an USAF recruiter would know.
AF has a prior enlistment program for a "select number of separated individuals". Make sure you're in that "select individuals" group as they may not take you.

Visit a recruiter and ask about DD Form 368.
One option is to get accepted to OCS of another branch.
It appears there are programs to make it easier to go from other services to the Army (e.g., Blue to Green).
Couldn't find similar program going from Army to others.
Consider the risk that prior service goals change, and you may find yourself waiting longer than you anticipated.

SrA John Monette - Sid said it best, get the recruiting stuff done first before ETS. That way you slip from one to the other seamlessly

You will have to wait six months from your ETS date to start the process. Hopefully the USAF is accepting prior service when you are eligible. Also, be prepared to get a grade determination, which means that you might come in the USAF as an E3. Good luck in your future endeavors.

SPC (Join to see) quick answer is NO. The branches have to ensure that you are fully released IOT to look at you. Also, YOU MUST receive your DD214 IOT to go talk to the recruiter. Last, if you receive anything else but a RE CODE 1, you might need a waiver to enlist.

That a little depressing to hear that but it’s understandable. Thanks for the information!

SPC (Join to see) each branch has its own rules. When I was recruiting, the USAF was very demanding and turned away prior service however, they fell short last year and increased the age to 40 and I understand that they are accepting prior service.
