i need to know if you would be able to switch from army reserve to active duty with a GED. i'm not enlisted yet but i'm talking to a recruiter at the time and he told me that GED slots just opened up for reserve. so i was thinking maybe i could join the reserve instead of having to earn 15 college credits and switch over to active duty. would i be able to do this? if possible how long do you think it would take to switch over?
