To a Navy/Marine Reserve Squadron - No. In fact, I'm pretty sure not even Navy Hornet guys can get into Marine reserve Hornet squadrons.
Air National Guard you can get picked up with no time as they will send you through AF flight training.
What your civilian time won't do is get you into a guard squadron as a Captain or Major whereas I can leave the Navy as a LCDR and join a guard squadron as a Major if I get accepted by one.
