Yes, if you switch from active to reserve Army, you can still wear your Expert Infantry Badge as long as you meet the qualification criteria. The Expert Infantry Badge is a mark of distinction earned by infantry soldiers who demonstrate exceptional proficiency in their field, regardless of active or reserve status.
The question makes it sound like a scenario where one decides to switch from the Regular (active) Army to the Army Reserve in the middle of their enlistment. This cannot be done - you can reenlist into a reserve component after your enlistment in the Regular Army is up, but you can't decide halfway through your enlistment that you want to switch your status to that of a reservist.
On the matter of wearing an EIB, yes. You're entitled to wear any skill badges earned regardless of which component of the Army you're in. If you've earned the Expert Infantrymans Badge, Combat Infantrymans Badge, Expert Field Medic Badge, Combat Medic Badges, Combat Action Badge, jump wings, Air Assault wings, Pathfinder Badge, etc., then you're still entitled to wear them if you reenlist for a reserve component of the Army. Same thing with a Ranger tab.
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.
It does not have a reserve switch - it has a sensor in the reserve tank that turns a light on on the dash when you are low on fuel.
The 1800 is fuel injected it does NOT have a reserve!
Switch to reserve when you run out of gasoline in the normal position.
If you mean a reserve fuel switch, there isn't one. just a shutoff valve.
i need to know when fuel switch is pointed up is that for reserve or for full
Yes and no, I have a 2002 bandit 1200s, it has a reserve switch to the left of seat... You need to switch to reserve by around 115 miles ridden or the bike will slow at throttle and shut off. It has a gravity feed hose below normal hose, that is reserve, just simply turn the knob "arrow up" and it will go to reserve.
The 1983 through to 1985 have a low fuel warning light and no reserve switch. The warning light is hooked to a sensor which is in the secondary fuel tank under the seat.
a switch and a capacitor which is connected in series with the switch
The petcock should have an arrow on it. Up is reserve,down is on and 3 oclock is off.
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.
You'll have to complete your contract before you do anything. When you get within your reenlistment window, you'll be sent to the Retention NCO.. if they don't convince you to reenlist, you'll still have to stop by the Reserve Component Retention NCO before you clear.. they'll try to steer you towards the Army Reserve or Army National Guard. You will have to contact a Coast Guard Recruiter yourself... first and foremost, you need to find out if they accept prior service personnel... they may not. But if you're looking to transfer out of your active duty contract and be placed instead into a reserve component, it's not likely to happen.
