Currently a 12M in the reserves, thinking about going 11B in the CO National Guard.
-Do I have to go OSUT?
-How long does it take to re-class?
-Is it possible to re-enlist from reserves to guard?
-Is it easy or difficult to get schools? Mountain warfare, Air Assault, Ranger Etc.
-Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Most of those schools will be out of reach to you in the National Guard as well unless your unit needs you to be schooled in them. The reason is the National Guard is paid for from a state budget. Ever wonder how Texas gets a SF NG BN and an Airborne BN both for it's NG? Because it can afford it being a large state with a large budget to spend on military. Colorado, not so much in fact I believe all Colorado has is Air Assault but I am not exactly sure on that part. Your best off talking to a Colorado National Guardsman because a NG from another state can give you somewhat of a heads up but that is based on their state only not on Colorado. A Colorado NG Recruiter would be your best bet but also realize a Colorado NG Recruiter can get into trouble if he or she is viewed as picking people up from the Army Reserve to fill NG slots.
