Would I be able to go into active duty If I am an Air Force reserve?

"Step back" and give this some thought. I am assuming you are graduating with a 4 year degree. If so, consider, FIRST, AF Officer Program. Believe me, you will be much happier, especially with income. Talk to an OFFICER Recruiter ASAP. Your pay will also include the number of years served in reserves.

You also have the option to interview with other branches of service. If better opportunity is elsewhere you MUST get approval from the AF through your chain-of-command. I can assure you it will be approved. Do not disregard your current avenues for AF. Commanding Officers, or others know people, use this to your advantage.

If you are graduating with a 2 year degree your options are limited but insure you speak to an Army recruiter. I understand there are Officer Programs with 2 year degrees.

Good Luck, stay positive. As an Officer civilian employment is "open" in a number of ways.

It's gonna be next to impossible.

In 2007, the Air Force only let 29 prior service members enlist.

Prior service includes:

Prior active duty members of the Army, Navy, Marines , Coast Guard and Air Force.

Prior Reservist of the Army, Navy, Marines , Coast Guard and Air Force.

Prior National Guard members of the Army, Navy, Marines , Coast Guard and Air Force.

Of course, that is for enlisted members,

If you graduate and want to become an Air Force Officer, then there is no prior service limit.

But if you want to enlist in the USAF as an enlisted member, it's not gonna be easy. It will all depend on what your AFSC is, and whether the AF needs that AFSC at the time.
