I just accessed into the AGR program as a specialist and it's been my best career decision thus far. As someone else said in the thread, you definitely have to be a self motivator, but if that isn't an issue, I say shoot for it. The pay is great, you have your benefits, you aren't PCS-ing every 3 years, and it's very easy to network with fellow AGR soldiers in your State.

42A is one of the easier MOS's to assess into AGR. Most units need a PSNCO/HRNCO, and these slots are often E4/E5. It is quite a bit of responsibility for your pay grade, but it's hard to beat active duty benefits.

If you do a three year AGR tour as a 42A, you can likely get into a few good schools at Fort Knox that can help lead into a miltech position (if you're interesting in this path). 42As tend to get into Unit Admin Basic, Pay Administration, etc; which looks good if you ever want to be something like an ARA later on.

I was put into a Operations Nco position in a Tradoc unit, and I've gotten quite the experience there.

It's a great job if you can get it. You are full time military but you don't have to worry about moving every few years. and you are serving your local community/state. Back in my guard days I always thought it was an awesome opportunity.
