Hopefully the USAF is accepting prior service when you are eligible. Also, be prepared to get a grade determination, which means that you might come in the USAF as an E3. Good luck in your future endeavors.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 31 at 2018 3:57 PM2018-10-31T15:57:21-04:002018-10-31T15:57:21-04:00SrA John Monette4089782<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>disregard, obviously, what I saidResponse by SrA John Monette made Oct 31 at 2018 4:20 PM2018-10-31T16:20:10-04:002018-10-31T16:20:10-04:00SPC David S.4089786<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>To be considered prior anything you'll need a DD-214. Only one way to get that - ETS. Good luck and Aim High.Response by SPC David S. made Oct 31 at 2018 4:25 PM2018-10-31T16:25:19-04:002018-10-31T16:25:19-04:00SFC Ralph E Kelley4090026<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="54707" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/54707-sra-john-monette">SrA John Monette</a> - Sid said it best, get the recruiting stuff done first before ETS. That way you slip from one to the other seamlesslyResponse by SFC Ralph E Kelley made Oct 31 at 2018 6:19 PM2018-10-31T18:19:20-04:002018-10-31T18:19:20-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member4091464<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Visit a recruiter and ask about DD Form 368.<br />One option is to get accepted to OCS of another branch.<br />It appears there are programs to make it easier to go from other services to the Army (e.g., Blue to Green).<br />Couldn't find similar program going from Army to others.<br />Consider the risk that prior service goals change, and you may find yourself waiting longer than you anticipated.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 1 at 2018 10:10 AM2018-11-01T10:10:49-04:002018-11-01T10:10:49-04:002018-10-31T15:44:19-04:00
