Question
I wanted to know if there was anyway to go back on active duty? I now have three children. I am currently in the reserves after serving 4 years in the army. My kids father is now on active duty. We are not married but plan to be soon. Please give me as much info as possible.
If you are currently in the reserves then I believe that all you have to do is request to be transfered to active duty... The Army is one of the two where the reserve and active service are one entity.
Contact an Army recruiting office to be sure, but I have heard that this can be done...

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
