Active Duty to Active Guard

I'm not sure who to go to or ask about this but I was curious if anyone had any experience going from Active Duty Army to Active Guard. I was curious what you might lose and gain in the process. I'll have a little over 9 years in Active Duty after this contract and have been contemplating going Active Gurd after this contract.

First, from my experience when I tried to apply for an AGR position in the Alaska National Guard is that you have to be off of Active duty first. Then it is like applying for a job. But as and AGR you have the same benefits as active duty with the state national guard. From what I heard unlike active duty you can quit or fired. Hope this helps.
