DD368 National guard to Active Duty

2015-09-16T11:04:01-04:00

I currently have a DD368 in the CoC. Yesterday my UA told me that battalion and brigade had already signed and it was waiting at state. Has anyone else gone through this process to swap from national guard to active army, if so how long did it take once your paperwork was waiting for the last signature?

Its hard to say. I take it you have already been accepted? Did you get an assessment done on your skills so you could keep your rank? I have seen guys do everything and still not get accepted by AC.

I have a soldier who began his transfer process in March of this year and is just now waiting for the 1-star to sign off at state level. Beyond that is the great unknown...

I've been debating putting in for a conditional release to give active duty a shot. Right now I'm trying to pick up ADOS orders on Tour of Duty. No luck thus far!

Here's a list of PS business rules effective 12May2015: http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/current-and-prior-service/continue-serving/active-duty/prior-service-business-rules.html

Mine was submitted Aug 11, 2015 and signed approved on Sep 12, 2015, but every case is different

I start my dd368 process next week. The good thing is that the prior service rules don't apply to me because I'm a split ops and haven't done mos training yet

I sent one in january 2016 and its just sent up to battalion, my cammond said it'll be a week or so until its done. I guess it depends on your unit and if they're high speed or not

I have recently submitted my dd368 form to go active duty it has been with battalion going on 2 months awaiting a signature. My platoon sgt who is AGR gives me the same response that battalion is tracking my paper. I had to submit multiple 368 forms just to extended the one currently at batalion

It was a long time ago but I did that. I can only remember that it was smooth and easy, but my transition included being commissioned so that might have made it smooth.
