What is an Active Duty Tour? Can a reserve recruiter recruit and assist in the process of putting a reservist on an Active Duty Tour?

A random reserve recruiter emailed me about pissible Active Duty Tours available to me. I was wondering if this is a new term for AGR or not.

The only active tour for reserves that I'm familiar with is ADOS or deployment - this could be done attached to an active duty unit.
Recruiters/retention can assist with transferring from reserve to active duty.
Like LT COL Coe stated, AGR is a full time employment position. You have to apply and be selected. This is not a tour.

Yea I put in a agr packet in time for it to be viewed by the agr board which is this week. This past friday the reserve recruiter emailed me about the active duty tour. The only interest Ive shown was to AGR.

Not sure why a recruiter would contact you, but an AGR job is not the same as an active duty tour. AGR personnel are government employees who wear the uniform to work all week and are part of the Reserve Component unit in which they work. They usually have jobs that keep the unit “alive” when no Reservists are around. An active duty tour means you will become part of the active component for a specific period of time. You’ll be assigned to an active duty unit and specific job

LTC (Join to see) okay I havent experienced a lot so that's why I was a little off guard when a reserve recruiter I've never met, emailed me about a active duty tour. Recruiters are able to recruit people out of their units?

SGT (Join to see) - it's usually a TDY. they put you on ADOS orders for the duration. But, yes, recruiters do try to recruit people out of their units. I get at least 4-5 emails every month from either a recruiter or CO trying to get me to transfer to another unit.
