CAPT Campagna ’93 West Point’s First Aircraft Carrier Commander

I have no info on active Army to active Navy, but if you wanted to go active Army to Navy reserve you'd have to apply to the respective reserve application board. They happen once or twice a year and you could either call the squadron's directly or go through the reserve Wings to get some gouge on upcoming boards.
The couple of guys I know who did the switch had finished their Army winging committment and then switched over. I believe all of them ended up having some time between leaving the Army and getting their Navy paperwork squared away and comissioned into the Navy.

I think this is still in effect, but check to be sure. It outlines the process.
Thanks a ton! In the document it said, "All officers of other uniformed services are eligible to transfer to the Navy or Marine Corps except those who: Are in competitive categories that do not comport to the authorized strength limitations of the Navy or Marine Corps or Are inactive-duty Reservists with a remaining Military Service Obligation."
Are you able to clarify what these mean exactly? Especially the first caveat.

You should call the aviation officer community manager, he or she can tell you for your YG if there will be any spots available if known at this point. There have been a few people that have done it but it is a rare thing.
It means you have to do a job that the Navy needs. If you were a tank driver the Navy wouldn’t consider you, as a pilot they will.
I believe it also means that you have dropped your letter. If you're still under a commitment or contract, then you're considered part of the end-strength. But if you've given notice, you no longer are "comport" to end-strength goals since you won't be there next year.
Yep.

I'm pretty sure at least two of those guys were in API at the same time I was, kind of hard to miss some guys running around with Army wings, and the Skipper has had the same luck at hair retention as I have had.
I remember that guy. Don’t think I ever flew with him though.
I never asked, but rumor is that CAG-5 a few years ago had army helo time.
