transfer from army reserve to naval reserve ???

easkey92

is this possible and if so what is the procedure ???

Yes it is possible, need to apply through your chain of command.
You normally are interviewed by the NSR CO.
If you are successful you drop a rank.

Call over to your local nsr unit tell them you are thinking about transferring, they will give you an insight to the NSR.
Where are you based and what rank are you.

Thats the reality. An Army reserve Private/cpl/ even sgt does not have any of the skills that would be required in the equivalent rank in the NSR.
If you are a cpl you may stay an LS, but you'll be traning alongside the recruits and seamen until you have mastered the basic seamanship skills.

it says so in the R5 I am not going to dig it out, NSR pers drop a rank if they transfer to the AR, in fairness NSR NCOs and Officers would be lost if they transfered as well.
