Question
Greetings I'm a e5 with the air guard and want to cross over to the army guard I have 10 years total service 8 were active navy. I was a AM2 working on f14 tomcats and f18 hornet and super hornets. As well as a certified aeronautical welder. I can not locate a conversion chart. To see whast I can convert to by submitting a 1306
Next to nothing transfers over to the army anymore, you would most liley still have to go to a school to get certified to work in your new MOS. Though you may be accelerated thru the course since you have lots of experience. Helocopters work just a little different I guess.

Expertise
I am a National Guard recruiter , been doing it for seven years and am a subject matter expert on qualifications for National Guard and I keep up to date on Regular Army regs and programs. I was in the Navy for 4 years and have 13 years in the Guard. I will not sugar coat my answers to you. They are usually short and to the point. If you need more in depth, ask me. Because each situation is different, alot of times you need to actually talk to a recruiter and let them evaluate your situation in person, by looking at your documents, issues etc. If I suggest this, it would be in your best interest to do so. Finally...thank you for your interest in serving this great nation of ours. Very few people can actually make the cut to serve let alone choose to do so. So thank you for wanting to and hopefully you will get a chance. Whatever branch you choose, thank you and good luck.
