I am an AGR officer in the Army Reserves. I am looking forward in my career and I am wanting to retire as a COL. Is it better to have an extra year in the field as a BN S-3 or other operational assignment or to attend SAMS? As of now I do not know what utilization tours are available for AGR SAMS graduates.

Go to SAMS. You should get a good follow on - normally to a G-3 plans shop.

Deleted. I forgot about the AGR part and I think my response only applied to active career path.

SAMS attendance. In Guard, of course, the AGR is a "hindrance" since the state has to "do without" the AGR person while away from the state attending SAMS. But very important for follow-on assignments .
