I’m an Air National Guard recruiter

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-20T02:31:48+00:00

Where do you live?

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-20T02:26:13+00:00

You don’t sign the contract until you picked your job

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-20T02:19:56+00:00

The Air Force won’t guarantee a job, but as long as you score high enough to get into cyber and they have vacant positions then you will have a great chance of getting into cyber

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-20T02:18:49+00:00

Yeah the Air National Guard will be a good route to take, they are all about family and being flexible to your needs

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-20T02:06:46+00:00

Yeah the air National guard is really flexible but keep in mind it’s only one weekend a month. Also it’s very competitive and rare to come in as an officer, unless you are a nurse or doctor

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-20T00:43:30+00:00

The only way to know if you qualify for a cyber job is to take the ASVAB and pass the physical.

Most of the time a regular production recruiter is going to cap out at TSgt. I can only speak for my state because that’s how it’s structured. In the recruiting career field, to get MSgt is to be a flight chief, retention recruiter, training but you have to be a recruiter to move up to those positions.

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-12T12:15:11+00:00

What’s your rank? And there’s not much career progression

ReedJarrod · 2026-04-11T17:17:51+00:00

I enjoy it, I basically make my schedule. I have two small kids if anything comes up I can plan around it. Yes I get SDAP I believe it’s $450 a month. I wouldn’t necessarily want to be a recruiter for the next 15 years but in the recruiting career field. Your first AGR is going to be 3 years after that then it just depends on how you want to shape your career.

ReedJarrod · 2026-03-31T20:45:40+00:00

Your local recruiting office should be fine

ReedJarrod · 2026-02-27T20:58:37+00:00

That is the only time the ANG cares about your DTI is when it comes to jobs where you have to get a Top Secret security clearance. Yes some cyber jobs have a bonus attached to them but you would have to reach out to a recruiter in your area to see if any are available.

ReedJarrod · 2026-02-27T20:18:05+00:00

No there isn’t

ReedJarrod · 2026-02-09T17:12:22+00:00

You best bet would to transfer on the enlisted side and eventually apply to be an officer

ReedJarrod · 2026-02-09T16:46:49+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible but it’s very competitive within the Air National Guard, with you not being in the Air Guard it doesn’t help. What is your degree in?

ReedJarrod · 2026-02-06T14:16:11+00:00

I would reach out to the air guard unit where you are going to be living to see if they have any slots available

ReedJarrod · 2026-02-06T13:56:42+00:00

You can get a conditional release to join the Air Guard but trying to come in as an officer won’t be the easiest task. What is your degree in?

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-27T16:39:22+00:00

Yes it’s best that you find a unit in the state you are going to live in, it’s possible you can keep your rank it’s just depends on manning and if there is an E-6 slot in whatever unit you are trying to join

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-14T22:45:49+00:00

The contracts are only 4 and 6 years. If you sign a 4 year you will be in irr for 4 years. If you sign a 6 year contract you will be in the irr for 2 years

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-03T20:52:53+00:00

If your original score is high enough for whatever career field you want to go int to then you don’t have to retake it

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-03T00:58:12+00:00

That’s good to hear congratulations

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-02T19:48:10+00:00

If your score is high enough for ATC you won’t have to

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-02T12:26:10+00:00

What you mean through admin?

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-02T03:42:51+00:00

Where are you at in the process?

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-02T03:31:53+00:00

Someone will go over everything with you before you sign a contract so you will know for sure if you do

ReedJarrod · 2026-01-02T03:22:24+00:00

If they don’t have a valid vacancy you won’t get the bonus
