By SGT Davis Allot of US Military service men and women often wonder how they could switch to another branch of service! This article explains how to make that happen. Things You'll Need: * Letter to command requesting to switch branches * DD 368 Conditional Release Form * DD 1288 Request for Conditional Release within Air Force components STEP 1- First you must decide that you want to switch services. Then you must decide what branch of service you'd like to join. IE: Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard, Navy, Navy Reserve, Marines, Marines Reserve, Coast Guard. STEP 2 - Now that you've decided where you want to go you must write a letter explaining your intension and asking for a Conditional Release. The conditional release is approved on the DD368 Conditional Release form. This process must start at the lowest level and go up. Be aware thou that you MUST assure that the process is moving forward. Keeping in touch with where the request is, is very important as it could easily be forgotten about and fall through the cracks.

A recruiter from the branch you want to join must create the DD368 and sign it before it can be sent up your chain of command so make sure to have your recruiter do that before anything. STEP 3 - Set a meeting with your supervisor and explain to him/her of your intensions and give them the package (Letter & DD368) to forward. Defiantly keep a copy for yourself. Submit it directly to your commander if you come to find out he/she never receives it. STEP 4 - Now is the hard part. You must wait for an approval or disapproval. If for some reason your Unit says you can not be released and wont take the package, request that they formally disapprove it on the DD368. If it is disapproved or they will not submit the request, contact your base IG (Inspector General) they will assist you from there in getting it submitted. I DO NOT recommend going through the IG unless all other avenues have been tried. STEP 5 - Once your DD 368 has been approved and signed, get it to your recruiter of the branch your joining as soon as possible for entry. Usually at this point if any testing or physicals are needed you will do those and then pick your job and be enlisted.
