I’m in the process of switching from TPU to AGR. I have 12 years in, about 8 AFS and two years TIG. I am a 13B in a 00G position and will be going through recruiter school in 2.5 years.

I was told by HRC and multiple other AGR soldiers that I will not be able to get promoted due to not having a MOS in the AGR system. I was told the same when I joined the USAR but I’ve been promoted twice.

Is there anyway that I will be able to be promoted in the AGR or should I just get used to being a SFC for the next three or so years?

A couple 11B’s just made the 8 list. Not sure why you couldn’t get promoted.

Thanks for responding SFC (Join to see) I saw that too. Apparently 11b are rarities that usually fill commandant roles at NCOES schools. I didn’t see one 13 series or any other combat MOS on that list get a look let alone get selected.

I was under the impression those are not 11Z slots but 00G slots. I figured they were more commonly filled by 11B’s just due to the fact that there are quite a few 11 series reservists, myself included.

You may be one of a very very few 13B’s but I don’t see why you couldn’t get promoted into a 00G slot.

SFC (Join to see) Hey!!! a ray of hope!

I’ll keep digging and I’ll be sure to update this as I get further along and hopefully get more favorable answers.

To be honest I’m amazed that you were able to keep that MOS this long in the Reserves. I was a 13F and when I switched to the Reserves I was forced to change my MOS. And the fact that you were able to get to E7 in that MOS is crazy as well.
