Trying to transfer branches while serving within a unit that has received deployment orders is often impossible. The military highly recommends that members of the armed forces wait to start the procedure until returning home from a deployment, if deployment orders have indeed been cut, before starting the process. In addition, under an inter-service agreement, members of other branches can request an early discharge to apply for the Army Warrant Officer Program.
However, in many cases fulfillment of the active contract is required before transfers are approved. It is important to note that if the goal is to transfer from one branch to the military to another upon ETS, a servicemember should start speaking to a recruiter from that branch before his or her ETS date.

Simpson on October 29th, Respect … or racism. Simpson on October 20th, UFOs vs. Simpson on October 19th, By Rebekah Corcoran on September 18th, Every service member has a specific job, often called a military occupational specialty or rating, usually assigned very soon after enlistment or basic training. Each specialty includes specific duties you will be expected to perform to help your service branch protect the peace and fulfill its mission.
From armored tank drivers and infantry units to musicians and mechanics, the military offers professional opportunities for almost every career. But be aware, a change in military specialty is not always possible or guaranteed.
It does happen, but you must qualify with certain criteria. If you are in the Delayed Enlistment Program DEP , you would first have to request a DEP discharge from the branch you are enlisted in, and then apply to join the other service through the other service's recruiter. Military recruiters are prohibited by regulation and policy from "actively recruiting" members of other service's DEP.
So, to better your chances of making this transfer, you should not be talking to the recruiter of the other service until your DEP discharge is approved. Once one goes on active duty, with the exception of a few commissioned officer specialties such as a physician , one cannot simply transfer from one branch of the service to another. You have to complete a Request for Conditional Release from your current branch of service. Though the process exists, the likelihood of your current branch of service releasing you is the hurdle to jump over.
Typically, the move from one branch to another requires one to complete their enlistment contract. It may take four the six years depending on the time you enlisted.
Then you have to get out of the military, and then visit a recruiter to join the different service, as a prior-service recruit. It is by no means a "sure thing," as prior-service slots are limited. It is easier to join the military from the street than from the Fleet. There is a program that will allow members of the Navy and Air Force who are serving in over-manned jobs to request early discharge, in exchange for agreeing to a three-year active duty enlistment in the Army.
The name of this program is "Blue to Green. Many who could not become pilots in their original branch find a home in the Army Warrant Officer program and become pilots of a variety of Army aircraft helicopters and fixed-wing.
Typically on a one to one basis, members of the Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, and West Point can select a job outside of the Academy they graduated from.
