No. It is not possible. The closest would be if you were in the Army National Guard/Reserve and worked as a civilian for the Department of the Air Force, or vice versa. This is the only way it is possible. You would be issued an ID from each. The Chaplain in my Battalion falls into this exact scenario. He is a CPT in the National Guard but works for the Navy as a civilian.
But you have a tendency of seeing some service members claim this. They might have been in the Navy and then went to the Army National Guard and still hold on to their previous title. You see this often with Marines. I know a few on here that claim to be a Marine and even have a profile picture of them in a Marine uniform but there retired or are serving in the National Guard. I have seen one leave the Marines after four years and do about 16 years in the National Guard claim to be a Marine. Their picture and rank on their profile doesn't reflect correctly. If you look at their assignments you will see they were in the Army National Guard and even promoted a couple times. It makes no sense to do that.

SFC Bryan Clark - I would affiliate with the entity in which I retired with in the position I retired as. I was regular Army and an NCO. But now I am an Officer in the National Guard. So if I were to retire would you think it is accurate to say I am an "Retired NCO?" I think it is more of an image the marines have and in how people will identify with it.

SFC Bryan Clark - My apologizes. I thought you asked me about what is there to disagree about. If you didn't want to know than maybe you shouldn't have asked.

No. Joining another component REQUIRES a conditional release from the other.
