I have contacted a few recruiters but have been told they cannot help me. What can I do to find availability within active duty units? Is there anything I can do to help myself before going to another recruiter?

Do a voluntary title 10 tour and then seek to make it a permanent transfer.

Availability is a National Guard concept, the Active Duty uses strengths of the MOS. It's very possible that your branch simply does not need your MOS on Active Duty. The AF is notoriously obtuse when it comes to accessing prior service into Active Duty. I suggest finding a new branch or a new MOS to access into Active Duty on

The active-duty AF doesn't recruit by units. They recruit specialties or a set knowledge, skills and abilities that qualifies for the specialties they need. And then you would enter that pool of specialties available for all units to tap from. So any recruiter worth their salt would ask probing questions about your experience, motivation and ASVAB scores (if they even call it "ASVAB" anymore).
