What is my likelihood of being selected for Reserve AGR?

My application for Reserve AGR is in the HRC portal, now I have to wait for a board to convene in August. As a Signal WO1, what are my chances of being selected for a position? I have been told with the emergence of Cyber, more Signal Warrant positions are becoming vacant. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I am trying to keep a positive mind?

Part 2: How long after the board convenes will I know if I am selected or not

The board only lets you know if you are qualified for the AGR program and then classifies you into a tier. There are four tiers with tier one being most qualified and the tier four representing not-qualified. Once classified, you wait until a unit requires an AGR position for your rank and MOS/AOC and only then will they extend an offer. I know some people that get selected immediately while others will be on the waiting list for years or never even get selected.

I've been on the tier 2 - qualified list for the last three years and am still waiting for a call up to the big leagues.

I don't know the timeline for the Guard but for the Army Reserve they are about to do a big push to fill the AGR positions in the units... Might be worth considering if you don't mind moving ... "needs of the Army".

I would simultaneously look at the Guard option. Depending on your state there are multiple options. It comes down to there being a spot or not.

CW2 Private RallyPoint Member To go on what MAJ Private RallyPoint Member wrote. I recently graduated WOCS as well and the last Reserve CCWO, the 377th CCWO, and the Reserve Dep. Commandant briefed all the Reserve members in my class that the AGR is in the process of beefing up its numbers. Didn’t go much into specifics but told the branches there (AV, SIG, CID, and QM) that it was likely that many positions would be open but for W2.

Depends on the competition for the slot.
