How to Relocate to Another Base as a Member of the U.S. Air Force Reserves

However, you can still serve your country while living the life you are used to. Joining the United States Air Force Reserve gives you the experience and benefits of being a member of the military without a daily commitment. Therefore, a transfer in the U.S. Air Force Reserve works differently than joining the military full-time.

Decide if you will want to relocate to another base or stay with your current base. Since the Air Force Reserves do not require you to relocate when you join, you have the ability to stay with your base, even if you move. You will still be responsible for attending training sessions, so you will need to decide if changing bases will be best for you.

Research the bases closest to your home. While the reserves are not as strict about transferring between bases, if there are no reservist openings at the base closest to your new home, you may still need to travel for training exercises.
