Can an active duty soldier transitioning to the NG keep their Regimental Affiliation they had on AD when they transition?

Two part question. 1) Can a soldier just pick a DUI from a prior unit and wear it for regimental affiliation? 2) Can an active duty soldier transitioning to the NG keep his/her Regimental Affiliation that they have while on AD when they transition to the NG?
