Your pay is based on your rank and time-in-service, and you get active duty pay during training periods.
There is free training to prepare you for your Reserve Component job. Family members are offered health care coverage when the military member is activated for more than 30 days. Con: The benefits you get tend to pale in comparison to full-time, active duty benefits in the same areas.
This is a common complaint, and a fact of life in the Reserve. Pro: You are only required to serve one weekend a month during peacetime, plus two weeks of training per year. This was mentioned above in the service commitment section.
The pro here is that federal law requires your employer to work with you to meet your Reserve commitment and the Reserve duty in peacetime is a reasonable commitment to make.

The con section here includes noting that SCRA protections credit, interest rate protections, other consumer assistance are not offered to Reserve members unless they are activated for 30 days or more.

You have amazing officers who are a year and a half behind others who have the same date of rank, simply because they decided not to go active duty. Resources, though abundant, are not as easy to find. Moving to a large Army post, I was impressed by all of the resources I came across on a daily basis.
From MWR events to the lending closet. Fun runs, spouse groups, the fitness and childcare centers on post, child and youth activities and classes. The list goes on and on! In my opinion, AGR soldiers and their families are stuck in a sort of gray zone. We experience the best and worst of both worlds. Everyone has their own opinion of whether being AGR is worth it, but just like any other job, somebody has to do it.
Is your family part of the Active Guard and Reserves? What would you add to the list? We never leave our home state. Reading this article opened my eyes to how lucky I am not to be a reserve Soldier. Thanks for your service. Yeah I likely would have went National Guard but the Reserves recruiter beat the Guard recruiter to the punch. My main priority was just getting back in and continuing my military career whether it was Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard or any component. I am about to do my physical and then get shipped off to basic training.
Reading this sort of eased my mind. I definitely now know exactly what I want to do and that is go AGR. You have the choice to move, if there is not an AGR position open in your area you can relocate if you please. Thank you for writing this article.
We are US Army Soldier regardless of what component. Hi there, i have some specific questions regarding AGR as a reservist. I was hoping maybe you or your husband could offer some insight.
