Question
Hello,
I have a family member who is currently in basic for National Guard. He has expressed interest in the Air force. Would it be possible for him to switch to the Air Force now or before his 8 yrs are up with the National Guard, and if so would he have to go back through basic again?
I have been advised he should contact an in-service Air Force recruiter, however, I haven't had any luck finding informaton online.
Thank you
Answer
Honestly, its possible but not likely. He would need a release from his state in order to try something like that and his state has just paid good money to send him to training and they expect some kind of return on that investment in the form of service. As far as the recruiter, the Air Force could give you an idea of if they would even accept him, but its still the National Guard's call since he signed the contract with them.
