18x NG to Active Duty?

[airbornec178]

I'm posing this question to this forum because I believe I can get the most accurate answer. I've gotten a number of varied answers from different sources, not always the most reliable. Here's the situation: I enlisted in the NG as an 18x under the assumption that I would not otherwise get an SF contract as a prior service enlistee for active duty. However, knowing that I'm going to want to be back active again, I've been looking into the transfer from NG to Active Duty. I've been told its possible, that its not possible, that it takes about 4 months, that it takes about three years, etc, etc, all from various sources. So, if anyone could help clarify for me, what does it take for a NG 18x who's shipping within 40 days, to wind up an SF member on Active Duty? Any answers will be very much appreciated.

My suggestion to you would be to concentrate on getting through the Course first. After one learns to crawl, they walk, then they run. Keep your eye on earning the beret.
Good luck.

First question besides read more.... Is why did you not complete school at WP?

Did you twist your ankle in football?

Why did you just continue on AD and apply for SF?

Also all need to re-read this stickey

At USMA the academic policy is that if a cadet fails a course twice, he is subject to review for separation. I struggled at wrapping my head around Multivariable Calculus, and the second time around I came up short again. Despite being top of my class militarily and physically, I wasn't allowed to continue. I regret not passing very heavily, but a person is only defeated as long as they let themselves be. I chose to not miss a beat and continue my goal of making SF.

I apreciate the answers. You're right, focusing on passing SFAS and the Q Course are the most important things on my plate right now
