Active Duty to Reserves

[achilles097]

I have done searches, but most cover the switch from Reserves to Active Duty. I did a semester in college and want to head back to school after my four years (or more) is over. Is it possible to become a Reservist after my Active Duty time is over? Would I EAS and then re-enlist? I am looking at picking up a BS in Accounting. I just like having a guideline for the future.

I don't know yet if it's a possibility that I will try out for OCS, but I am looking at joining the CIA after all is said and done regardless. Nothing media related influenced me, it's more or less a legacy thing in my family.

Yes, after your active duty enlistment is up.

Is it as difficult as re-enlisting into Active Duty? I asked my recruiter and he said it's a lot tougher to get into AD after your EAS. He doesn't know about Reserves.

No, its way easier than trying to go back to active duty. If you leave AD, the chances of you getting back in right now is very slim. You would contact a prior service recruiter and get the ball rolling. It's pretty easy as long as you have a good re-enlistment code.
