Do you lose rank switching from reserve to active duty air force?

In general, no, you do not lose rank when switching from reserve to active duty Air Force. When a Reservist transfers to active duty, they usually retain their current rank and time-in-service. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, such as if the Reservist is transferring to a different career field or if they have been out of the military for a certain amount of time.

Here are some specific examples of how rank is handled when switching from reserve to active duty Air Force:

* If the Reservist is transferring to the same career field, they will retain their current rank and time-in-service.

* If the Reservist is transferring to a different career field, they may be required to attend training and/or complete additional qualifications. In some cases, they may also be required to take a reduction in rank.

* If the Reservist has been out of the military for more than a certain amount of time, they may be required to start over at a lower rank. The amount of time varies depending on the branch of service and the specific circumstances.

It is important to note that these are just general guidelines. The actual process for transferring from reserve to active duty Air Force can vary depending on the individual's circumstances. For more information, it is best to speak with a military recruiter.
