24 years retired active duty. I couldn't go reserve our guard. Active was the life for me.

Thanks for keeping it real! I’m currently AD, but am researching AGR as a possibility for myself.

@iamleahmarie 4 ай бұрын

You’re welcome. AGR is a great option if you still want the benefits but not necessarily the early wake up, formations, etc. I’m not really sure how AD runs day to day

Do you as a AGR solider get 3:39 BAH

Yes I get BAH

I hit 22 years AGR this past January and I’ll have 27 years overall in the Guard next month…..luckily I was able to stay on as AGR when I switched from enlisted to warrant five years ago - there’s a lot of ups and downs to AGR life, but it’s what you make of it……if you see an opportunity for promotion and progression, go for it - even if means you have to drive a little farther to work each day, the trade off in the end is worth it 💪🏻

I couldn’t agree with you more. The same happen to me but I was open to going back M-day had a position not been available after converting to Warrant.

Now when it comes to retirement. Is 20 AGR & and 20 active the same?

Hi! Love how you made this video, I’m really considering joining the Army National Guard honestly and to also become an officer through that as well. Thinking about eventually applying for AGR

Hey Kayla! Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. What jobs are you considering and are you considering starting enlisted or commissioning through college?

Those are both great fields!! That’s a good idea to come in as an officer. I’m in admin and I love my job.

Im happy I found your video. 💪🏿 A bit about me: Im prior service Navy (deployed twice) and National Guard (never deployed/just AT and Hurricane duty). About six years total. Now Im transitioning to The Reserves, and not only conflicted because I have high line scores (all over 103). I just need some advice on AGR Reserves or Active duty like both my bros Air Force and Army.

Hi!!! Happy you’re here and I’ll be happy to help in anyway. Do you have any specific questions? I’m not too familiar with AGR Reserves or AD but I have people in each branch. One thing I’ve heard about the reserves however though is that the opportunities are endless

I just need them to find somewhere a little closer to home for me 😀

If you could briefly explain the difference between AGR and being a Federal Technician? Currently in the National Guard(88M) and looking to serve 20+🙏🏽

@iamleahmarie Ай бұрын

There’s a few things on this such as pay, medical insurance, allowances, promotions, etc. I will make a video on it .

@DrizzleVisuals-kj9ds 3 ай бұрын

So you can't just start out as Active Guard Reserve? I definitely need all of the benefits

@iamleahmarie 3 ай бұрын

No you will have to apply for an AGR job.

Hi there, question. Can I join the guard as an officer? I’m graduating college this upcoming fall and I want to join the army as an officer, I know about OCS but don’t know how it works for the national guard. Thank you for your service

@iamleahmarie Ай бұрын

Aside from OCS which is an option to come in as an Officer, you can look into Direct Commissioning but it’s for specific specialty branches such as JAG (legal), Medical and a few others.
