I'm currently a TPU soldier and 41 YOA (E6). My TIS is a little over 9 years. My question is regarding AGR Recruiting status. How many of you went from TPU to AGR recruiter and got somewhere within reason to your requested assignments? If not where did you live and where did you get put? I'm only curious.

I understand it is the needs of the army and I hold no complaints, but I've spoken to a few people in person and they have all got their requests. I'm curious if this was a fluke or not. I appreciate some feedback.

To those who are AGR Recruiters. How do you like it? I got a buddy of mine in near OK and he loves it.

I can’t provide much detail to your question, but I am a former TPU on AGR. I go to recruiter school on the 10th of August. I can keep you posted if interested.

If you are interested in AGR recruiting without having to move too far, you could also consider talking to the Guard in your state about transitioning to the Guard for AGR recruiter.

I'm unfamiliar with that, SGM. I need to look that up. My primary reason I joined the reserves was more opportunity. The guard is great, but advancement is few and far between getting to the senior ranks as I'm aware you know already.

SSG (Join to see) - Advancement is tough for 89B in any component. Recruiting is an E7 duty position, the potential is built in.
In the Guard, you also have the opportunity to reclass to any other open E7 AGR duty position after your first 3 years.

I was an AGR Recruiter from 2016-2019. They asked me for my 3 top states (yes I am AGR reserve). I chose maryland, West Virginia, and South Carolina. My choices ended up being Pennsylvania and Tennessee. I ended up choosing the location in Pa, because it was 3 hours from where my wifes family is. They put you where you will succeed, not exactly where you want to be. I also have a fellow AGR recruiter who asked for a location, and was put in that city. Hope this helps.
