Montgomery GI Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR) applies to drilling soldiers while they are still in a TPU status.
Active Guard Reserve Soldiers are on active duty but in the reserves. Do they qualify for the Post 9/11 GI bill after their service?

LT, I covered this is some detail on my blog. Here are the links to the two relevant posts. The VA pamphlet links need to be updated, but the basic information should help answer your question. http://www.afterthedd214.com/category/education-training/va-education-benefits/page/7/ and http://www.afterthedd214.com/category/education-training/va-education-benefits/page/6/

AGRs would also qualify for the Chapter 30 (active duty) GI Bill as the initial AGR tour is at least 3 years.
I believe at one time they were allowing for enrollment during AGRET, but I'm not certain that practice has continued. I've known at least 1 AGR recruiter who signed up for it on his initial tour.
When I came on tour, I already had the 30, but I did the buy up (complete waste of $600 for those switching to post 9/11).
There some unusual circumstances where the chapter 30 may be more advantageous than the 33.

1LT Donnelly,
AGRs are eligible for the post 9-11 GI Bill, depending on when you came on tour and if you were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. To verify if you are eligible, call you local education office who can help you with your education options. As a AGR, I am using the Post 9-11 GI Bill for a PhD. Hope this helps.
