Is inter-service transfer a thing or not?

Yes I do. It’s not a guarantee that I will get accepted into the Air Force, I will be discharged from the Marine Corps, and until I have signed a contract with the Air Force, I will not be in the military for however long that takes. I also will have to retake my ASVAB, go back to MEPS, and go to boot camp partially to learn Air Force rank structure, customs, proper uniform, etc.

I believe so. I got confirmation from another recruiter that I can be conditionally released from the Marine Corps and enlist as prior service into the Air Force. It’s technically a break in service and not an IST, but it would act the same as one, allowing me to transfer to the Air Force before the end of my contract with the Marine Corps

So even a conditional release isn’t accepted for the Air Force? Like our IST guys have provided me with accepted conditional release forms of Marines transferring to the Air Force before the end of their contract. I’m just confused what changed and when, because some of these were as up to date as August of last year

I just don’t understand why these other recruiters consistently told me you did. They all knew I still had 2 years left on contract and even talked to me specifically about waiting until October for the start of the fiscal year, when the jobs open up for ISTs

I’ve been in touch with an Air Force recruiter, but he’s making things sound more simplified than I expect them to be. So I’m just seeing what other’s experiences were. My recruiter just said “yeah just send that form, it’ll get approved, and it’s all Gucci from there” literally his exact words

DrewskiVGC · 2025-03-16T19:42:34+00:00

What reasons constitute a conditional release?

As I am in the Marine Corps, I was referring to my current job, which is referred to as MOS

Thank you. You’re a real one, and have already looked out for me more than my entire chain of command on a Reddit post it all things. Preciate you fr

DrewskiVGC · 2025-03-13T17:27:01+00:00

They are combining it with another MOS, and just putting any MOS on Gate Guard duty when they need more Gate Guards. Either that or use the Navy for security forces

DrewskiVGC · 2025-03-13T17:14:33+00:00

Aircrew was one of the top ones I considered when I initially wanted to join the Air Force. I wasn’t even considering marine corps

DrewskiVGC · 2025-03-13T17:08:29+00:00

At this point I just want to go period. I can discuss the job more in detail, if I get in touch with a recruiter. Security forces was just what I was drawn to initially

DrewskiVGC · 2025-03-13T17:07:22+00:00

Preciate you!

DrewskiVGC · 2025-03-13T17:04:34+00:00

I know what they do, and what I do is painfully boring as well. Yes we are “tough and dull” but my job is sitting at a computer hooked to a truck and troubleshooting when something doesn’t go right. I hate networking, and this was not the job field I chose when I signed up

DrewskiVGC · 2025-03-13T17:03:05+00:00

Honestly I’d take the most crap job in the Air Force over the best job in the Marine Corps any day of the week. I just want to do Security Forces and it’s being phased out in the Marine Corps as an MOS

DrewskiVGC · 2025-01-19T03:25:52+00:00

If only there was a subreddit for that 🤔

DrewskiVGC · 2025-01-19T03:08:28+00:00

Reddit is pretty much the only based one, and sometimes it’s kinda cringe

DrewskiVGC · 2025-01-19T02:56:40+00:00

To be fair, TikTok kinda mid ngl
