For lower enlisted, yes, as those are automatic promotions based on time in service. So, if you're a Specialist or lower, you shouldn't lose rank. If you're going to the Regular Army from the Army Reserve as an NCO, you should expect that you'll loose at least one rank/grade.
Active Ready Reserve, or Army Ready Reserve. The remainder of an 8 hour commitment, after leaving active duty.
Probably not. It's extremely hard just switching from a reservist to active duty, I've heard guys that we're waiting more than 14 months to make the switch to active and are still on hold. Its all about the needs or the Marines reserves and the the needs of the active duty command. It probably won't even be possible to switch, unless you haven't left for boot yet.
1.1 million soldiers on active duty with 960,000 in reserve in the Regular Indian Army, plus about 780,000 in the Territorial Army (a reserve/militia force).

If those six months added to 180 days then yes.
Yes. As an active reserve member you are still under the same contract as active duty. Your most recent discharge is used for benifit information.
Any US Army recruitment center. The same recruiters who recruit for the Regular (active duty) Army also recruit for the Army Reserve. They do not, however, recruit for the National Guard.
You can be Ranger qualified, and be in any component. However, the Ranger battalions are active duty units, and there are no Ranger units in the Army Reserve or National Guard.
Depends how long. If you served 180 days or more of active duty, yes.
No, you must terminate your active duty statutory obligation (the period of active duty that you had signed your contract for) and then you have the option to enlist into one of the reserve components. If you are finishing your AD time, you will be required to talk with a RC advisor to clear the installation, ask him.
