Question
Ma'am,

I have 10 years' Active Duty Army experience in the intelligence field (98 series), having graduated from Goodfellow AFB and Ft Devens.

As an Air Force reservist, I had to attend Goodfellow AFB again, successfully completing the Operations Intelligence Analyst course there again.  I currently have my TS/SCI clearance, and am Combat Mission Qualified on Predator UAVs in the Centcom AOR.

A Warrant officer suggested that I should take advantage of the Army's policy of "Blue-to-Green", even though I've stayed green in my mind anyway.

What would be the procedures and first steps to recruit an enlisted AF person who was an honorably discharged soldier/NCO who has both strategic Agency and Tactical Infantry, Cavalry, Space, and Commo expertise in 2 services?  I have no disciplinary or physical barriers to any service.

Thank You for your response.

Answer
Dear James --

In order to take advantage of the Blue to Green program, your service must be willing to release you to the Army.  If that is the case for you, then go to the following website to learn more:

You can also chat with a recruiter on that site, about your prospects, what your rank would at transfer would be, and what your opportunities for promotion would be.

It sounds like you would be a good candidate to transfer back to the Army.  I wish you the best of luck.  Please write back, if additional questions arise during the transfer process.
