Question
sir, i am currently serving as an active duty security force member in the air force. i recently received an article 15 and was reduced from e3 to e2. i want to continue to serve my country when my enlistment ends but i feel like the air force is not right for me. i want to be involved with armored cavalry specifically the stryker, but am willing to look at other options. i am also curious how my article 15 and rank reduction will affect my eligibility.

Answer
Your ART 15 shouldn't affect your transition as long as it doesn't affect your discharge. Just contact an army recruiter and they will make the transition happen once your current enlistment is up. You can start talking to a recruiter near you and get an idea of how to join a stryker unit ASAP.
