How does grade determination work for a prior service going from NG to AD? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-does-grade-determination-work-for-a-prior-service-going-from-ng-to-ad <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>E5 with 8 years in the NG. Etsd in March. Currently in the reenlistment process. Passed medical, just submitted a grade determination today. I&#39;m curious about any info about retaining rank. 3 years as an e5 BUT could never get my unit to send me to wlc. (I was a mechanic and they were more worried about slot for the line platoons).<br />What are the chances I&#39;ll keep rank and be sent immediately to wlc vs a demotion<br />Also for anyone who as gone AD from the guard recently what&#39;s the transition like? Any pointers?

The same thing happened to me. NG to AD with 11months complete separation. No wlc which is blc now, I&#39;ve been AD for a year and a half now and still cant get sent to BLC. Hopefully once I get back to the states I&#39;ll get BLC but dont expect it if your first AD assignment is OCONUS.
