If you change branch, does you rank come along or change?

Not that I want to change a branch that I'm currently part of, I'm just wondering what happens to your rank if you switch a branch. (ex. navy to army, army to airforce, airforce to navy, etc...)
Does it come along? or does it change?
In what circumstance?

It doesn't have to- its like re-classing if they are only taking E1-E5 and you are E6, you either bet a waiver or go home.

It will depend on each services needs and policies at the time. Sometimes you can transfer and not lose rank, and then a few months later you can't transfer at all, and then a year later you can transfer with some loss of rank.
These things change on a regular basis, just like Army in and out calls change, and bonuses change.

It would depend on factors that would only be best answered by a Recruiter. Is it possible to keep your Pay Grade? Yes, especially for E4 and below. E5 and above...possible but highly unlikely. But no guarantees
