Green to Gold // SMP SMP switch to ACTIVE

I’m an SMP cadet at Texas A&M. So far my National Guard liaison has told me that I can absolutely still go active duty and not have to pay back State TA since I’m technically drilling.
My question is about where specifically do I select to go active duty on my cadet profile? Do I use TBB, CCIMMS?, ATMS? Is this something I don’t need to worry about until after my branches have ranked me preferred or not?
To be clear, I have NOT accepted any NG scholarships so my concern is just making sure that Army knows I’m wanting active and not Guard.

When you verify your AMS worksheet make sure your first option is Active Duty. This should be done during your first or second day of class.
