Going active duty from reserves: How difficult?
I was thinking of enlisting in the army reserve while attending college. Once I finish school, I would then transfer to active duty. Now, exactly how difficult is this? Will the reserves try to keep me a reservist? What are the chances there will be open slots for active several years from now?.I have heard mixed opinions on this. I do not want to be weekend warrior my entire career.
I don't want to be an officer, at least not initially, so that kinda rules out 'Reserve OFFICER Training Corps'.

It will be a lot easier to join from the reserves, to college. What you would have to do, is get a CT (Component Transfer, to the reg force, and they would be more than happy to take you.

Why not just join after college? Better yet, see if your university offers an ROTC program, so you can commission as an officer after you graduate.
