Where can I find a list of vacant job openings, by AFSC, to see what locations are available?

Considering to go ANG to AD, is there anywhere (like maybe the AF Portal) that list vacant job openings by AFSC to see what locations are available? I am currently a 3E551, and would like to stay in this career field. I've gotten some college done, but I'm realizing that I feel that being active duty enlisted is where I belong. I would just like to explore my options as far as vacant positions go, if it is possible, and see where it goes. I do plan to meet with a recruiter next Tuesday if all else fails. I would like some insight from anyone that has a thought or recommendation on what I should do or which route to take in the next steps into going Active Duty.

To be honest, it’s really hard to go from ANG to AD, trust me I’ve been trying ever since I did palace chase. The only way I have found is to cross train into a Battlefield Airman career such as Combat Control/PJs. After I talked to a recruiter a while back, there is a very slim chance you could switch if there is a critic manning in your career field. Thanks to force reduction from previous administration, the Air Force really isn’t in the business of enlisting prior-service. A better option may be looking for an AGR position. Best of luck.

AFPC @ Randolph. Equal or Equal plus, unless they have changed the names. I'm not up on the transfer from Guard to AD. Call a base in service recruiter. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

Your recruiter will have access to World-wide vacancies. They will try to match your current AFSC, but if that doesnt work out they'll look at the list of AFSCs that are on the "chronically critical" shortage list for retraining opportunities.
