Wife is going active while I follow her, I have 4 years in and may do AGR at what closest base she is sent to. What can I expect right after she gets out of ait? My command already knows about everything and is very supportive. She is a 89B I am a 92A.

Perhaps the Army is different than the Air Force, but you can't just "go AGR" in the Air Force, the unit has to have a vacancy, and it gets announced/applied for. Typically there is competition for the jobs because they are the best kept secret..

Good luck, as I said, perhaps Army is different in how they hire those.

SPC if you go AGR your first duty station is likely NOT local and you have one day to accept or pass on the position (if accepted into the program) or be put back on the bottom of the list. You would be best served to try to get a technician position vs AGR. That way you apply directly for that GS position such as a unit admin. If you want any help feel free to message me. Best of luck
