whenever you go on active guard, that means Full Time Guard.
You are will get all benefits that the active duty component gets. incl Health, Vision, Dental, Housing allowence, Clothing allowence,...etc..
There is an acronym AGR which stands for active guard reserve. This is for members that are on active duty with the Guard or Reseves.
Over 1,000,000 soldiers serve collectively in the Active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard.
The Active Guard Reserve (AGR) program allows National Guard and Reserve members to serve on active duty in a full-time capacity, usually in support of their respective service branch. Reserve retirement is a benefit earned after 20 qualifying years of service in the reserve component. Members become eligible to receive retirement pay upon reaching age 60, or can opt for early retirement benefits after completing 20 years of service.
Most National Guard officers are on reserve duty status.
In the United States, there are seven Armed Forces Reserve Components. These include the Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, the Army National Guard, and the Air National Guard. Each component serves to provide additional support and personnel to active-duty forces as needed.
I believe that there is currently a hiring freeze for AGR, but you should talk to your Retention NCO.
The same as the active and reserve components. AR-670-1
Of course. You aren't active duty anymore.
There are a number of ways such as SAD, (state active duty) or apply for vacancies under AGR (active guard reserve) or techician posts. Some states have drug and counter terrorism slots available.
In the active reserve/national guard , it is the day your unit must release you from active reserve duty. This means you do not have to drill once a month anymore but will probably still be in the inactive reserve for some time specified in your contract.
Yes. It is an Army uniform. Active, Reserve and Guard comform to uniform policy.
