Anyone have any first hand information to offer as far as daily life, branch detail chances, career path, retention, etc. of a 42B?

I'm a current ROTC MS3 thinking of listing AG high on my branch preference list. Thank you in advance!

I would have to say getting branch detailed AG is pretty good. I'm currently in the AG CCC and we are split about 50/50 pure AG and brach detailed/VTIPD personnel.

The chances of being branched detailed are high. The life of an AG Officer is very demanding. There is always something that needs to be done. You are directly supporting the Army’s greatest asset!

Just out curiosity what is your MOS? If you get AG do you want to stay AG?

HR is the way to go which will allow you a great career path on military and military civilian life. Take it from a senior HR guy!!!

The best of the AG world is that we can be in any type of unit we are not limited because of our AOC
