Reservist to Active Duty?
I have a important question.
Since I would have over 4 dependents, I can't go active duty. So, if I join the Reserves, how long after I join (or BT, ACT, and Tech School) can I out in a transfer to Active Duty. My recruiter (which I spoke with today) was uncertain. Can anyone help me with this question??
Thank You,

There is no promise that they would let you. If they have a rule that you can't have that many dependents it may apply even if you are in the reserve trying to move to active duty. Your best bet would probably be to have the recruiter find out what the policy is.

Douglas, they have these restrictions in for a reason. Your salary on active duty would keep you and your family well below the poverty level. How would your family get by? Worse yet, what happens if you deploy? Who is going to help your wife take care of those kids?
I think you should attempt to improve your career in the civilian sector. Your family would be better off.
