Considering going into AGR or Active Reserve but my question is if I can still attend full time classes using the GI Bill and receive the monthly housing allowance that comes with it along with the BAH.

Army Reserve Elements
BAH

If you go AGR your job comes first. There are limited AGR positions and if you went to school fulltime who would do the work?

AGR (Active Guard/Reserve) are the active duty positions in the Guard and Reserve.
On orders, you would collect the actual BAH related to your grade, status of dependents and zip code of your place of duty.
And you would be expected to perform duties like any active duty Soldier, from 0900 to 1630.
You could continue to take any college courses that don't impact your ability to perform your active duty job, but the GI Bill would at least stop the BAH, as you would be eligible for real BAH.

Well, some of the people kind of answered your question, but I’ll confirm.
No. You cannot double dip BAH.
If you’re AD, RA or AGR, just use tuition assistance. Save the GI Bill for yourself later, or a family member.
I’m AGR now, and have been RA in the past. Feel free to ask anything you might be curious about.
