Our AGR 92Y is essential for unit function.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 6 at 2020 1:59 PM2020-02-06T13:59:21-05:002020-02-06T13:59:21-05:00MAJ Ken Landgren5527513<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am going to assume you will be procuring supplies. You will be dual hatted. One is to conduct daily operations for the unit. The other one is to prepare for drills.Response by MAJ Ken Landgren made Feb 6 at 2020 2:08 PM2020-02-06T14:08:13-05:002020-02-06T14:08:13-05:00CPL Sarah Stilwell5528903<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was a 92Y in active duty in 2004-2005 and you spend 2 weeks learning paperwork and budgeting (how to order items, log serial numbers, give hand receipts, etc.) The second 2 weeks learning the computer based aspect of logistics and the third two weeks learning to disassemble, clean and reassemble virtually every fire arm the military has to offer (50 cal 240b, m9, m249 saw, mk 19, etc... about 10-12 firearms total) this is because you'll be running the arms room alongside the supply room. There were 4 92Y in my unit and we split the workload, I offloaded trucks, my friend log everything as it came off, my sergeant issued it and the fourth guy ran the arms room which was pretty lonely for him being in a gun cage all day, but no one bothered him lolResponse by CPL Sarah Stilwell made Feb 6 at 2020 8:25 PM2020-02-06T20:25:38-05:002020-02-06T20:25:38-05:00SP5 William McElya5787438<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yeah, it's like the good old boys club. There is very little P.T. and you will have to keep up with your fitness on your own for the most part. What would be some of your specific questions?<br />William McElya 92yResponse by SP5 William McElya made Apr 17 at 2020 5:58 PM2020-04-17T17:58:06-04:002020-04-17T17:58:06-04:00SPC Anthony Postel5935547<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was a 92Y in the Iowa National Guard, then spent about a year as "active guard". For the most part imagine it as being active army with the bonus of being at home. You'll work 9-5 monday-friday just like a normal job (all national holidays are observed). You get all the benefits of an active soldier. However you'll also be required to be present for "drill weekends" once a month and the required two weeks a year. And it's also important to note this is the army, shit happens sometimes you'll be forced to stay late/come in early and stuff like that. Now, the second part of the equation is the MOS. A 92Y is of course your average unit supply specialist who works in the supply room doing a multitude of things from ordering equipment and uniforms to performing inventories all the time. But in a lot of armories a 92Y will double as the armorer. Many responsibilities come with this and just like your supply sergeant you'll eventually need a security clearance and again since this is the army along with being the unit armorer you'll still be required to perform your supply clerk duties, but I'll say it was an extremely rewarding experience that I had a lot of fun doing. I don't miss the vault alarm suddenly going off at 3 a.m. do to a fault but hey it is what it is.Response by SPC Anthony Postel made May 26 at 2020 12:25 AM2020-05-26T00:25:50-04:002020-05-26T00:25:50-04:002020-02-06T01:50:57-05:00
