I ETS'd from active duty back in 2003 and have been in the National Guard and Reserves ever since. For the past few years I've been trying to get back into active duty but every recruiter I speak to tells me that they're not accepting prior service back into active duty due to the cutbacks. Are there any recruiter out there that can give me some insight to this? Thank you in advance.

Sometimes AGR applications need a bit of help like a unit willing to request your packet. I was offered an AGR position but I just got back home from a deployment and their offers were Iowa, New Jersey and New York, neither of those really made me want to jump up and run right to it. Talk to some AGR's and see if they can help/

SSG (Join to see) Have you considered Career Counselor (79V) as an AGR. We are alway looking for NCOs to fill full time positions. Talk to your local Career Counselor and they can get you the contact information to your nearest ARCD BN that can assist you in getting the process started and let you know what the job is all about.

Actually there's a career counselor office in the building I drill in so I'll talk to one of them. Thanks.

Chances are slim to none. Your already a SSG. I looked into it while I was at drill sergeant school, they have certain criteria for MOS, Rank, SQI, ASI, etc. Everything they wanted was SPC and below who are airborne qualified. Maybe you'll get a response from AGR, I think that's your best bet.

SSG (Join to see), I just went through trying to get back in as active (didn't work, yet) and it's a rough process. First thing is you need to look at the prior service business rules. If your MOS isn't on it, then you need to look at paragraph 7 (or 8 depending) at the reclass MOS/grades available. I last looked in October and the only two jobs were 35p and 18x. If those two don't work for you, then you have to start playing shenanigans. Transfer to a reserve/guard "will train" slot in one of the short handed MOS's in the business rules and after reclassing try to go active if the vacancy is still available or ocs/rotc if you aren't over the age limit.
Another option is CID. Go to the usarec website and search for CID accessions. If you have a bachelor's degree and a few other qualifications it looks like they're hiring.
