I'm scheduled to interview with an Air Force Reserve unit (for the second time) sometime this spring. Let's assume I get the job and go through the 2 years of training and end up flying with this unit. If I suddenly decide that I really like the military life, what would be involved in transferring from the reserve to active duty? I know most people make that transfer in the opposite direction, but is it possible to go from reserves to AD?

For the record: I'm not joining the reserve for the sole purpose of switching to active duty. I've been debating AD vs the reserve for a while, and I'm still not 100% sold on either, I just know I want to join the military.

If I don't get this slot with the reserve, and I decide to do AD, what is the process for deciding who gets a pilot slot? I know I'd go through OTS. After OTS, does anyone who wants to be a pilot get to go through UPT, and then if you don't wash out you get to pick a plane based on your class rank? Is that kinda how it works? Thanks a lot.
