do you mean to switch to active duty? I know you have to be in your unit for 6 months before you can make the request, but from what I hear it can get complicated switching from guard to active

There is no set time requirement to apply for AGR but there is a rank requirement. You must be at least a SPC before applying because most jobs are slotted or E5 and up. Each state has their own needs.

You have to find an opening and the prerequisites will be listed for that specific opening. Or you can look on the HRC website and submit an AGR application.
