I am currently serving on active duty orders but am curious to find out if I have an option to transition to the Reserves or the National Guard. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

When your active duty contract ends, you still owe the government time. Each initial contract is for 8 yrs, regardless of how much time you spend actively in uniform. So, yes, you have an option to finish your time in the USAR or USANG. Or, you can just finish out your active time and request transfer into the IRR. If your unit doesnt have a retention nco, then find the base career counselor. They will have all the info you will need.
