I was discharged in 04 as an E5/ABH2 via med board with severance pay. I am a proffessional firefighter so physically I believe I can meet the medical requirments. Anyone know how difficult it is to transition into the air national gaurd or the navy reserves. I am interested in a program where my remaining college debt will be paid off under the loan repayment program. Also how difficult is it to go the officer route. I was enlisted for 8 years and I would love to wear the uniform again and plan for my future retirement. My DD214 has a RE-1 code on it so it should be able to re-enter once I jump thru medical hoops

From a recruiter stand point an RE-1 is gold....provided you can get passed the medical and haven't gotten any crazy legal trouble or tattoos since you got out. The ultimate question is which branch can offer you what you want and can offer you a job that you can live with..as prior service your options will not be as grand as when you first joined. My advice is to sit down with both branches, have them "show" you the answers to your questions not just "tell" you. And then make an educated decision

PO2 Anthony Gick My question is what do you want to do in either the Air National Guard or as a SELRES?

PO2 Anthony Gick
Since I am a firefighter/EMT/hazmat tech I would like to do something in the medical side. I loved being an ABH but I want to challenge myself. I would love to go navy reserves over ang. Any direction or a good recruiter that I can talk to and start the ball rolling? I am in the Hampton roads area and work at defense logistics agency Richmond

PO2 Anthony Gick Well, with your experience you may be able to come into the Reserve as a HM, obviously you will have to talk to the Recruiter. There should be plenty of opportunities in NORVA . If you want firefighting and HazMat the AF Reserve or Air Guard is a better fit, since the Air Force actually has military fire fighters. If you want to do Haz Mat work, look at going into the Coast Guard Reserve.
