My boy just recently did this and is back in Germany. He went from enlisted (Tech Sergeant) to officer (2nd LT). He's stationed out at Mesiau now 20 mns from Ramstein. I'll get a hold of him and ask him to give some info.

Every branch has their share of BS.. On that note, you will get BS no matter where you go. If you feel it's for you, then more power to ya..

So true. I was Army and was thinking about going AF after I ETS'd, but I work for the AF now as a DOD civilian and I see how soft and undisciplined the AF really is. If you do go blue to green be prepared to be deployed all the time (15 months now instead of 12). But your single and you are receiving $10,000 for it so I would say go for it. Theres a guy out here at Whiteman AFB who was in OSS and he went blue to green. He's now stationed at Ft. Campbell and he loves it. I told him if he is into that Hooah-Hooah **** than he's gonna love it. How many years would you have to sign up for? Four?

I'm thinking of doing a similar thing only not going active army and going army national guard. I'll be out of the AF in sept then probably be goin green. The AF just wasn't for me. I would say go for it, and good luck!

I cant stay air force no CJR I was just taken off the list because I didnt recive one I was 190 on the list so time to look for something now. I wouldnt mind going coast guard but that will take some time. Blue to green is allmost instint from what I here.

Come over to the cool littlest big gun club in the world, the U.S.M.C. Funny thing is that we have the shortest deployments out of all the services, however, we also have the shortest turnaround time between deployments.

From what I see, the corps is about 5 years behind everyone else, in terms of troop handling, we still, prefer a good *** chewing over a piece of paperwork for minor infraction. But is is all about what you like.

You know lately i've been thinking the same thing. I'm glad i'm not the only one. It seems all the reasons I joined the AF for ended up being the reasons I want out. I'm trying one other thing first. I've been training and am about to take my physical test to become a Pararescue. If I don't make it I'll probably go blue to green. I just acquired a new lady friend here in Korea and she happens to be Army. She just got her next duty station which happens to be on an Air Force base with me =P I guess its a good thing her daddy is a very important person in the Army.

Hmm, maybe I should talk to someone. I've been thinking about it lately. Who did you talk to? A regular Army recruiter or someone else? Would I have to go through basic again? I'm in E-4 right now. I did a 4 year contract but its up in a year.

EDIT: Err, sorry I think I kinda hijacked your thread. So let me add. If you think you'll like it go for it. If you dont mind deploying go for it. I've learned a few things about the army making army friends here. However, I would NOT do it for the 10k. If the 10k is whats making you think about it then screw it.

Kavslayer

my .02 being active duty army. There is ALOT of bull that comes with the army. Honestly your experiance in the army is based soley who your chain of command I have had both GOOD and BAD in the army. The army is really a easy job, it's to easy to do stuff here, but its all based on YOUR personality as to how you handle it. I Personaly will not for NO amount of money reinlist in the army I just am tired of dealing with it not worth it to me.
