The conditions have to be right (really the only time I have read info about this being this "easy" was in times of high demand for Active duty personnel.namely, war.) you have to get all kinds of approval, paperwork has to cross desks and be approved.

Like was stated this is difficult, it is not simple. If you are a reservist you have to be released from your Reserve commitment and get an approved discharge and then separately process for enlistment for active duty service. You (for the most part-there are some very small exceptions) cannot just transfer from one to the other. (Ours did, but my hubby was a reservist so we were aware already) When you enlist you have filled an opening and have made a commitment to it. I wish all recruiters would make this very clear. Reservists and Active Duty are not the same entity. Reserves, Guard and Active Duty components are all different. This doc is going to be the most thorough.listing the ratings that are available to FTS and how you enter into the program.

Here is a link to the Official Navy Reserve site on the different kinds of reservists (SELRES, IRR and FTS. Army Reserve and the Army National Guard. They are full-time career active duty personnel, but reside in the Reserve Component (RC), and perform a role similar to Active Guard and Reserve (AGR), Air Reserve Technician (ART) and Army Reserve Technician in the AirForce Reserve Command, the Air National Guard, the U.S. Here is link to the page about that and the ratings that are FTS: Īlso, this is from Wikipedia: FTS, previously known as TAR (Training and Administration of the Reserve) serve in uniform all year round and provide administrative support to SELRES and operational support for the Navy. And they receive the same pay, allowances and benefits as Active Duty members. They typically are not reassigned to different locations as often as those on regular Active Duty. They may be assigned to shore activities and commands or operational units. Here is a post I did on that once: Full-Time Support –These are designated Reservists who perform full-time Active Duty service that relates to the training and administration of the Navy Reserve program.

I know I'll mess up sometimes.but I'll try my best not to do it on a regular basis!įTS - Full Time Support (formerly TAR = Training and Administration of the Reserve). So, I know I am on a new journey with this.to get this to a balanced area and to give back in someway. It's conflicting for me on a personal note because part of me wants to run screaming from the room never to be seen again :-D, but the part that feels the need to help in whatever way God wants to work this out is bigger. I will speak up for it in a heart beat.īut over the last several years my heart has started bleeding for the troops and their families. I know as I do more writing about our experiences on my own privately first the "feelings" part will come out and then I can make sense of it better.ĭon't get me wrong I am so proud of our nation and it's military.

I will TRY not to let my emotions get the better of me :-D If I do.anyone please feel free to let me know.

I don't want to bitter either or angry but rather constructive and goal/soul oriented. I just never have and I don't want to be a Negative Nancy. Maryjo - Thank you! I have been on this site now for about four years.helping on the PIR groups and so I am hesitant to voice some of this stuff.
