https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-are-the-chances-of-me-being-able-to-go-ad-from-the-navy-reserves <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m prior service AD Navy and I&#39;m looking to rejoin. The recruiter explained to me that I have to join the reserves first and then transfer to AD. He made it seem like a simple process, but my concern is if I sign a contract with the reserves and then get denied to go AD. I was in the NG for 3 years and the one weekend a month and 2 weeks a year isn&#39;t for me. The recruiter explained that I would just have to go through MEPS and then I would remain an E4 and my MOS would transfer from MP to MA. <br /><br />I&#39;m a little skeptical as to how simple the process sounds VS something that might get me placed in the reserves for 4 years. Any input would be helpful. Thank you.

Navy is building up, so I’m really puzzled as to why Reserve then AD. But then, I’m not Human Resources or Recruiting.
