Like 41DS and VQ2 said, absolutley. Like VQ2 said, work with the Reserve Squadron Augment Units (SAU) at Wing 5 and 6.
1. If they support your intent (package), it will make the transfer simply administrative.
2. Start now and work to find anyone who has transferred from USAF/Marines in CNATRA to the SAU's. They will have relevant gouge.
3. I would see if CNATRA has a common Navy Reserve recruiter for the interservice transfer. (I know you are supposed to use local [where you are living] but up to 4 years ago we had one take care of all CNATRA transfers).
The local recruiters were not familiar with interservice transfers. The Marines do things differently than USAF who do things differently than Navy and USCG. The departing service has unique rules, Navy fortunately is pretty straight forward and least complicated to join.
Best of luck.
