Is is actually possible to transfer between branches without first getting an EAOS? I'm an Army E-3 but I realized that I want to shift to Navy instead.

I switched from enlisted Marine to Navy Officer, but I had passed my EOS, switched to the Reserves, and needed a DD 368. I also remember going through active-duty Marine infantry school with a former Army E4 who had jumped branches (and taken a reduction in rank). Can’t speak to where you are in your career, but at some point it is doable.

It is possible. Though difficult, look up Interservice transfer(IST).

Interservice transfer my guy. it's a long process but doable. At your time in service and age, you're going to need some compelling reason for the service to want to let you go. Is my best guess. Good luck?

You can do it but it's a long drawn-out process. Good luck.

It's not impossible but highly unlikely. You may also incur some penalties if uou are still under contract. Like repaying any bonuses. Have you considered trying to get a new MOS?

You can speak with an Army Career Counselor for advice on options to fit your circumstances.
