I have been trying to get an Active Guard Reserve job in Kansas for about 5 years. A friend of mine from England is there and he is like family to me. I had an interview there before I came over here, but couldn’t take the job due to this deployment. They apparently have been waiting on my return to hire me. So, I will get out of Active duty when they hire me, and then re-enlist in the AGR. Its better for me since it is a stable base…meaning I wouldn’t have to move again, and no more deployments. Plus, I would still get all the same benefits as active duty would, and get a promotion out of it as well…more money. So not really getting out, just trying for a better situation…I want my 20 yrs of service…since I’m close to it already.
