Hello,

I should first introduce myself before asking a question, as I am new to this site. I am currently an AGR solder (92Y) with the MNARNG and currently deployed to Kosovo, Operation Joint Guardian, KFOR 9.

I have a question in regards to re-enlistment bonuses. I am being told that AGR, even as title 10 (I am title 32 at home station), are not entitled to any re-enlistment bonuses whether federal or state. My states website had listed only deployed AGR or federal technitions to Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kuwait are entitled to a re-enlistment bonus? I collect HDP/HFP, combat-zone tax free exclusion, etc.

My head is spinning here trying to figure out if I am entitled to anything at all, and I am watching M-Day soldiers around me re-up for $20K. I do love my job, and worked hard to get where I am at, just wondering about my options.

Thanks

Although I am not a subject matter expert on AGR Retention, I am not aware of AGR receiving reenlistment bonuses.

Here are some HRC POCs for the AGR Program:

You can also try sending a Private Message to "AGR Career Counselor". This person joined the community a couple months ago and probably enjoy getting a direct question.
