Hello, can I wear the Air Force Longevity Service ribbon as a member of the Army Reserve?

I am not certain, but would say no.
In many cases when service members leave one service for another, awards received by another service can be worn. These are typically achievement or service ribbons such as the overseas ribbon. The service ribbon of one service is often mirrored by another service's badge or ribbon. The Air Force for instance uses a ribbon for firearms qualification where as the army uses a badge.
The Air Force Longevity service ribbon is for years of service. The Army uses hash marks for enlisted, Officers do not wear service hash marks or longevity stripes.
While I doubt anyone would say something about it in your unit, it may raise questions if you are going for promotion and the board takes issue with your ribbons rack.
