I'm an Army Reservist with a question about switching to active duty.?

[AD]

What determines if you can switch or not is what current regulations have in place. The last time I was a recruiter (April of last year) you could only switch over if your MOS was something we needed right now and you was already MOS qualified. If not, you could only switch over as 18X, or Special Forces candidate and what that meant is you try out to be SF and if you fail you would be an 11B.

Your recruiter should be able to give you a better answer. I also know that the Army has a listing on the goarmy.com Facebook page that states what MOSs are open, listed right here:

According to the page you won't be eligible unless you are an E-5 or you are eligible to retrain as a 35P but if I was you I would verify that info with your recruiter in case anything has changed.
