Your home of record would always be Texas even if you enlisted RA.

The chances of enlisting for an AGR position is slim and none with none being the term you should look at.

The advice of checking with local units is not bad, especially if you know someone.

The deal is that you can only enlist for a job that exists in a unit *close enough* for you to make drills. Normally that means withing reasonable driving time, not live in Beaumont and drill in EL Paso. But there are exceptions to that, question is will your situation be exceptional? Why should a unit commander fill one of his slots for someone 500 miles away that may not make drills?

Again, look at what your real question is: is it maintaining a home of record which means tax breaks etc or actual residence which the RA cannot promise.

If a full time position is available, my wife and I have decided we are willing to move. As for my reason for keeping residence in Texas, it’s more about my wife staying in TX, near family, if I get deployed. Plus, the tax issue isn’t a bad point.

And I REALLY don’t want to get moved to Massachusetts or Cali.
