I have been in the military for a little over 9 years. I have been searching for an avenue to go Active Duty for quite awhile now with no avail. I have broadened my search and am considering Navy Active Duty. I am currently an E-5 88N with high ASVAB scores. Can some of you Navy folks chime in with what my MOS would convert to and how difficult it would be to get on Active Duty with Prior Service?

SSG Toryn Green The best place to start is at the Recruiting Office. We see many OSVETs (Other Service Veterans) transition into the Active Component all the time. If you have your heart set on a certain branch then it will just depend on their quotas and availability. Here are a few links for information on transitioning into the Navy. I hope they help!

SSG Toryn Green If you are looking to stay in the Supply field these rates would be best. Check out the link and let me know what you think. I know a bunch of outstanding Sailors in all these rates I could hook you up with, if you have more in depth questions about the job and daily responsibilities.

Thank you for the info. I just talked to the local recruiter and was told that there is zero chance of getting in active duty for prior service. The only option is the reserve.

SSG Toryn Green The transition from our reserves to active duty is actually quite easy. If you were to affiliate with the Navy Reserves you can then turn around and submit a package to either go FTS (Full Time Support) or AC (Active Component). I personally have submitted multiple members up for the FTS program and all but one was selected (and that one didn't have quotas at the time, but they still wanted me to submit a package on their behalf).
More information on the FTS program as well as the RC (Reserve Component) to AC program check out the following link. On this page is multiple governing directives that explain the program and how to apply for it: http://www.npc.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/enlisted/Pages/FTSEnlisted.aspx

It's important to remember that we Navy types don't know from MOS's so you always need to use plain language...

In your case Rate of what we used to call Storekeeper would probably be the only one remotely close but more important would be your assignment. Getting into MSC Military Sealift Command would be the placement of you with your previous skills. Oversee Vessels carrying Shitloads of Trucks, Tanks and Humvees. Maybe assigned forward deployed to Diego Garcia where there is a bunch of those MSC Ships waiting to deliver their goods to the next war.

You have to remember though that MSC is comprised of civilians, not active duty Sailors.
