What is the probability of switching branches from Army to Air Force?

Well, the reality of it also is that the Army has a lower minimum score requirement on the ASVAB than the Air Force, and if you do not meet that minimum score you don't transfer. It is a lot easier to go from the Air Force to another Branch than for another branch to go into the Air Force. I have served in both the Air Force then in the Army.

My son wanted to go active AF out of the ANG. The AF required him to go back to E-2 from E-5 to go active AF. He happened by an Army recruiter at a fair booth after deciding he wasn't going back to E-2. Of course the Army recruiter approached him about enlisting. He explained that he was already an E-5 in the Air Guard and wanted to go Active AF but it would require that he take a reduction in rank to E-2. Bottom line, he signed up for Active Army as an E-5, took completely different career field, did 6 years (including 3 deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan) came back out of Active Army into the Army guard, was quickly promoted to E-6 and retired from the Army Guard with 21 years service.
Why is it the Army values Air Guardsmen more than the Air Force does.

Army too tough for you???

I was offered a Major slot when I was a Capt. I had a useful MOS, and I would have been a ground person. if its a useful MOS, it should be a problem, then again there are OJT slots.

Are you active or in a reserve component?You have a higher propensity to" switch" as you say, from a reserve component. The Good LTC indicated which form is needed.
If your active duty, I would advise you ETS, then bring in your 214 to an AF recruiter. They do only have so amy slots that translate and or MOS' that convey to the AF MOS'
Good luck...hoooah!!

Looking at your career field (68W) but not knowing your overall interest and level of education I would urge you to check out either a direct commissioning program or if you are interested a paid college to commissioning program as a nurse or PA. There are numerous scholarships and programs being offered for completion of a nursing degree and all services compete for those graduates that are willing to join. As an E8 I had actually applied and was accepted to a nursing program in 1993 but by the time the program was scheduled to start I had been picked up as a SGM but decided to retire and go to the Univesity of Colorado health sciences to avoid an additional PCS move. Good luck to you and I agree with Col. McKay about missing 100% of the shots you don't take.

It is very doable, especially if you are in a shortage specialty in the Air Force. I should know...I did it myself as an intelligence analyst. Of course, I did go to the AF Reserves, but it's still a branch transfer.

Another option is to ETS from your current branch then enlist into AF Reserves. It’s been a while but I have seen this route work a few times.

I remember this one Marine that told me he was prior AF. He got out and then tried to go back in, but he couldn't because the AF was not taking any prior servicemen at the time, which resulted in him joining the Marines. In the other hand, I know one of my former young Marines joined the AF Reserves right after she got out of the Marines. No issues whatsoever. It seems to me it's all about where in the AF recruiting fiscal year you are when you talk to the recruiter. Good luck.

I left the army for the navy but it was in the 80’s and instead of blowing shit up under water as I wanted the navy needed corpsmen……so corps school it was. It all worked out. I did have to go through navy basic at Great Lakes but after Benning it was a cake walk. Good Luck

How did this turn out for you?
