Anyone been through the Army prior-service conversion course?
- Thread starter NO-BlkLightning2K
- Start date
Prior? I thought you moved and were doing drills at Lackland?
change of plans. i am now going back into active duty where i belong. had to go army as that's the only service where i can go straight into active duty. i've heard it's nearly impossible to go back into active duty air force, the navy told me i had to go reserve and apply for a transfer to active, and i'm not going back to basic for 13 weeks to join the marines. so the army it is.
how are things in the 445th?

Gotcha! Have you ever thought of civil service? Things aren't bad in the unit, busy like normal. I'm eager to start cutting my teeth on the C-17's!
I agree, prior 6 year active duty AF here!
My 2 year Inactive Reserves status expires this August.
I actually thought about going Army active out of pure boredom of the civilian side of life.
Then I thought mine as well go back to overseas contracting....since I made way more money and even get to travel lots more than military.
I was Security Forces and Fire Protection in the AF.
If I go Army I would like to try Infantry though.
^^^ i've been told that, due to being prior service, i'll have a limited selection when i go to MEPS. but i was thinking that infantry might not be a bad place to start. i'd prefer helicopter mech, though.
they're actually getting them. for real, this time? lol. that should be nice.

My wife went through it last year. Navy to Army. I thought she went to school in TX though? She bacame a medic. She was an E-4 when she left the Navy and they let her be an E-4 coming into the Army.
There was some familiarization training school she went to and then another school for her job. The prior service people got treated slightly better than the new kids as far as living conditions and all the bs games from what she said.

^^^ so is it like a shortened basic training?
cargo? what's wrong with the attack choppers? i loved working on the f-16, but hated working on the c5; it was such a slow pace compared to the 16. maybe it's different in the chopper world?
and according to the recruiter, i can keep e-4.
All the medic training for the Army (and everybody else will be going there soon) is at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio.
OP, from what I've heard it's a royal bitch to go helo mech right now. A good friend of mine has been waiting for like 6 months or something stupid like that for a slot to open up.

When I was talking to Army recuirter this time last year they told me Warrior transition was at White Sands, NM and its like 4 to 6 weeks of boot camp.
thanks for that actual name. i found a website detailing it. can't wait for the weapons training week. the AF only lets you fire an m-16 in single shot. lame. lol.
Bumping this to the top. I want to hear from someone who has some first hand experience on this subject. I just got promoted to SrA and everything I have read said I get to keep my TIS and TIG if I go blue to green. I am considering this option when my first enlistment is up. How does the job selection go in this circumstance?
To my understanding with the Navy Blue to Green they prefer you go to the same job field if you are critical MOS for example my last job in the Navy I was a MM in the Army that would make me an 88K or 88L
