I have just about a month left on my tour and am looking for a more agriculture/cost of living/tax friendly state. Curious about the process. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

I haven't personally done an interstate transfer as an AGR, but I've heard it can be challenging. It often depends on the needs of the state you're transferring to. If there's an AGR position open and you qualify, it might be possible. Researching states with favorable agricultural conditions and lower costs of living is a great start. Additionally, consider consulting with your state's AGR coordinator for https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/best-essay-writing-services-uk-top-5-genuine-websites-mary-walton-0cnge guidance on the transfer process and potential hurdles.

I don't know, but I know it would be a lot easier if you found someone who wanted you.
My advice. Type up a good email to introduce your self, your ERB and Resume. Have several people review them to make sure they look good.

Next go on Outlook, new email, click the "To..." button, change the address book from local and scroll all the way down to the national guard list for states you want to go to, then click advanced search and sort by rank (title, whatever). Find the correct LTC / COL and SGM that you think are the right people to talk to AV units or recruiting units, whoever you think would have a position you would want. Address that email to only those 2 or 3 people from that state.
Do that again for the other 35-40 states with lower cost of living than NJ. Someone will email you back, some of those will turn into phone calls and even interviews. One may even turn into a job.

Never hide that you are talking to other states, but you don't need to offer up how many you contacted.

Good Luck
