Can I go from reserves to active duty?

Question

I just commissioned as a 2LT in July in the Army Reserves with the GRFD scholarship. However, I am now regretting going Reserves and want to go Active Duty once I finish BOLC 2 and 3. My BC spoke to me this morning and mentioned that the Army is looking for Active Duty officers and that it might be a possibilility and I have heard of people going Active Duty from the Reserves, however with me taking the GRFD I think I just made this an impossible move. Is this based on the needs of the Army, and is there anyway, besides unit activation, of me going Active Duty

Answer 1

It should not be hard to activate, all you have to do is submit an administrative action form and send it up your chain of command. Good luck!

Answer 2

I believe you have to talk to your commander and they'll have to release you to the active component.
