What is it like switching from the Army Reserve to the Air Force Reserve?

I transferred from the Army (2years) to Air Force(12years). My MOS was 92A Supply and my AFSC in the Air Force is a medic 4N071. The transfer process was easy for me. I did incur a debt for the break in contract but I assure you the good in transferring outweigh the bad. The Army is way more structured and there’s more respect between the ranks than the Air Force. The amenities, accommodation and opportunities to grow are way better in the Air Force. I don’t regret it at all!! Good luck!!

I switched from Marine reserve to AF reserve is a complete different animal for me but I would think Army to AF would be easier at least some of the same language Took me a year and a half for the magic scroll to pick me up so isn't an easy process at least for me. But I can say it has its benefits

I have put dozens of PS Army folks into the AFR.... It can be quite smooth or quite the pain. You keep your rank (unless you are an E-7 or above and voluntarily demote-officers cannot change rank unless switching comp cats). If your MOS converts directly to an AFSC you will not HAVE to retrain. If it doesn't, you will

I switch from the Marine Corps to the Air Force Reserves. It was a culture shock.

Made the same switch years ago and have never looked back! It is so different. I got the afsc i wanted so there was no trouble there. It will depend on what your base needs. Enjoy it! A recruiter can tell you more details but personally I can tell you to go for it.

19 years ago I made the switch I got to keep my rank and my MOS crossed over where I did not have to retrain

I switched from Army National Guard to the Air National Guard one day I was in a army uniform next day I was in the Air Force uniform but I payed for a Abu top and had my rank and name on it when I swore in then I put my Abu top on and they had the boots and Abu bottoms an cap waiting for me

As soon as you do you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Many troops have transferred (both ways) from 1 service to another, sometimes more than once. If nothing else, you'll be able to explore the absurd rumors/legends about how "soft" the Air Force has it compared to the other branches (e.g., hotel rooms, color televisions in the tents, latte machines, Barco loungers, etc.). I did Army and Air Force, both having their own attributes, and would choose Air Force every time. But that's me, think hard.

Well, I was AD navy and went into the AFR... Other than learning the different rank structure it was very smooth... There are a couple minor differences between the branches, but is easy to adjust

SGT(P) (Join to see) From the comments here it sounds doable and if you are a good trooper and there is a place for you, the AF should be glad to get you on board. It might take awhile to pick up on the new culture and ways of doing things but if you are motivated go for it and best wishes.
