As AGR, can you PCS to Active Army? If so, how do you go about it?

I am on my first tour of AGR however, i was wondering if it is possible to transition to active army since I'm already on orders?

If its your first AGR tour, very few commands will cut you loose for AD. You will have to ETS first then try to come back on AD. More times than not, lose a stripe or two in the process.

You can do AGR tours with AC units. I am currently with the XVIII Airborne Corps. Talk to your career manager.

SSG Caples,

That is NOT correct information you are giving this soldier. Number one is is already on "ad" and receiving all the benefits of an active duty soldier, since this is his first tour in AGR he must complete a good 20yrs of AFS (Active Federal Service) to retire with full benefits thereof. Now since he is promotable to E-7, HRC will not allow him to access into the rolls for active duty.
Correction:
(Once he gets orders for E7)
