How long after a board does it take to hear if you get into the AGR program? Do they send your packet back if you didn't get in?

Husband applied to a vacant AGR position with the CST WMD.

Hopefully he made a copy of the packet. Notification can vary, normally less than a month.

What the Chief said. Also, you will get notification even if not selected.

It works differently than how you imagine. After the board, he'll be notified what tier (5) he falls under. From their HRC, will go through their candidates to fill vacancies. He will remain on the list for one year. After that, he'll have to reapply.

Each candidate’s aggregate score from the panel is converted to a Tier score that is utilized by AGR Accessions to identify Best Qualified, Qualified, and Least Qualified candidates.
• Tier 1 – Best Qualified – Most likely to receive a position offer
• Tier 2 – Qualified – Most candidates fall into this category. Many from this category receive offers.
• Tier 3 – Least Qualified – Requires exception to policy to receive an offer
• Tier 4 – Not Recommended – Will not receive a position offer
• Tier 5 – Not Qualified

It took me two tries. I was on the list for about 9 months and I got the call a few months after my return from Iraq. I totally forgot about it and thought i'd have to reapply.
