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.

Can you go from army active duty to army reserve?

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.

Does the Suzuki bandit 1200 have a reserve petrol tank?

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.

Will your army reserve rank switch over to active duty?

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.


Can you switch from active army with 5 yr extended contract to the coast guard reserve?

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.
