https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-a-year-out-from-my-reserve-contract-when-and-can-i-try-to-go-active-again <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good afternoon gentlemen. I was active duty for about 6 years and ets’d in 2016. I signed a reserve contract and it’s up in 2019. My question is, would I be able to go active again? If so, how would the process be for someone who’s nearing the end of their contract as opposed to a fresh private a few months into his 6 year contract? <br /><br />Should I do a 368 or just wait?

You do not have to be at the end of your reserve contract to start the process.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.thebalance.com/transfering-from-national-guard-reserve-to-active-duty-3353261">https://www.thebalance.com/transfering-from-national-guard-reserve-to-active-duty-3353261</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/251/229/qrc/enlisted-female-airforce-soldier-537143609-574b951b3df78ccee1f7fd3b.jpg?1515784177"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.thebalance.com/transfering-from-national-guard-reserve-to-active-duty-3353261">Can You Transfer from the Reserves to Active Duty?</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">Information and procedures for transferring from the National Guard or Reserve Military Forces to the Active Duty Forces.</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> MSgt Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 12 Jan 2018 14:08:45 -0500 2018-01-12T14:08:45-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-a-year-out-from-my-reserve-contract-when-and-can-i-try-to-go-active-again?n=3250793&urlhash=3250793 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>MSgt Borders nailed it. You can start the process now. You just need to see a recruiter and get your current unit to release you.
