What do I need to do to go from Army NG to Army AD?

I’ve been in the Guard for a little over than a year and a half. I’ve been wanting to go active for a long time. I’ve not regretted anything else more than not going active initially. What is the process or any tips/advice that may be helpful for me to continue?

First, you'll need a DD-368. That DD-368 will need to be routed and signed. Once approved, you can go talk to an AD recruiter. Go through the same MEPS process, minus the ASVAB. Sign contract, and report to your unit.

Go to your nearest Active/Reserve recruiting office. They will sign and give you the DD368 that you need. Take it to your NG staff for processing. once (if) approved through your unit, take it back to your new active duty recruiter. he will process the rest and send you back to meps. If your physical is still within 2 years, you wont have to take the meps physical again. You will simply talk to a guidance counselor and get your new ship date to your newest Army installation
