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

      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

    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.

    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

    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
      @iamleahmarie  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

    hey quick question, how does retirement work for AGR? a little confused. to my understanding potential of retirement after 20 years of active, but does the age 60 years of age come into play?

    • @iamleahmarie
      @iamleahmarie  8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That is correct 20 years active. You will need an ETP to stay past age 60
