There could have been a change since I retired in October 2009. At that time, if we got folks in from the Navy or Air Force they would just attend the Warrior Transition Course. Not a full basic training. We even had to send one soldier back from Afghanistan to attend. You might want to inquire about the Warrior Transition Course. As I said, though, there may have been changes. Also, you could inquire about Active Guard/Reserve jobs. They are active duty positions within the NG units. If you were to retire from an AGR position, you would receive your pension upon retirement, not age 60.
