AGR Curtailment
I think it depends on the location. It seems like we are more AD like than we have ever been. But I think it's because the mission is 24/7/365. We try our damnedest to keep it like the Guard. It's still a "bar" to me, not a Heritage or Reconstitution Room. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

AGR Curtailment
There's no set time, but try to think about what is worthwhile to the unit. Curtailment is not a massive process and it does happen regularly. Like I stated before, a coworker of mine did this about 1.5 yrs ago. I think nothing less of him for doing it. He improved his family's QOL and I would never fault anyone for doing that. I'm extremely happy for him and know that he is thoroughly enjoying his airline gig and is fully involved as a DSG. But we have also had folks in the past who continue to look at the unit as a lifeline that they can come and go anytime they like. It's just not conducive to a good work environment. I just look at it from the hiring authority's perspective and how time-consuming the job advertisement, interview, and paperwork process usually is. Once you fill an AGR position, it's almost like a sigh of relief since the process is complete and you have a valuable member to help with the workload. No one likes continually being in that process. I'll give you part of my pilot hiring spiel- you are looking to join my family and I want you to join my family. But I need you to understand the commitment required to join the family. As corny as it sounds, the unit is my 2nd family. I spend as much time with my coworkers as I do my wife and kids, so I want to like you. Please don't give me a reason to not. I feel like we are a close knit group, hell, I've known some of these folks for 25 yrs. We want you to be around as long as possible. Now, I'm talking about an ANG unit, which may be a little different. If you are interested in talking or discussing, feel free to DM me. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

AGR Curtailment
Personally, I think it's a shit bag move. You are totally using them and I would hope they see right thru it. I see it from your side as it getting you to where you want to be. But, I wouldn't hire you since you it doesn't benefit the unit. Now, my view may change if you were to hang around for a year or so. That way it would at least benefit the unit, as well as you. But, we all know you would be gone in the first chance you could. And I would never hire you back into the AGR position after you bailed. ETA: if the unit is offering you the AGR position after knowing you are planning on jumping, then I retract the above statements. That is on the unit and they get what they ask for.

Any idea if there is a list of positions available? If so, where? Would likely be a good resource for someone seriously thinking about taking the leap of faith.

I thought the message said you couldn't get promoted if you returned. Is that specific to this message?

ACSC in the Guard
Shouldn't be too bad. 1 pt=1 AD day, or 1 UTA, or 3 study hrs for military correspondence courses. You also get 15 annual membership pts. The only cap to yearly pts is 365 (366 leap year) to apply toward retirement. But, yes, you would need to personally track. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I believe you are correct, yearly on your "anniversary". I completed another year last week, so hopefully mine will be updated. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
