LOL bro, if you have no intent to SERVE and actually have a possibility of going to combat please DO NOT enlist. PEOPLE DIE fighting in combatā€¦people that are in the united states military. Can you really say what you are trying to get out of this? There were TONS of national guard guys when I was deployed. ---

PEOPLE DIE fighting in combatā€¦people that are in the united states military. Can you really say what you are trying to get out of this? There were TONS of national guard guys when I was deployed. Honestly, read through my last 20 posts in this thread. I saw the national guard and everything they advertise was that they give back to the domestic side of the country in times of disasters, terrorism, etc. I really enjoyed that and was interested in more information about how it works and what the real catch is from people who actually served in the national guard. The sign up bonus to go through basic and commit to a certain amount of time and help out inside the country as a job was appealing but like I keep saying, they come across as a domestic support only and wanted to find out people who are actually involved in this. ---

Friend of mine signed up in the Army National Guard thinking nothing would come of it and would make a few bucks doing nothing and sure enough (just as Dan said about the ANG) he got deployed to Iraq for like 12 months. ---

I can tell you I am 100% positive that Army National Guard deploys. So if that is not what you want then you could consider something like what ILC is in. I did read your postsā€¦Walter covered it. ---

All in all the USARNG(United States Army National Guard) getā€™s called up more often because they have combat arms MOSs (military occupational specialty). The USAR( United States Army Reserve) is not allowed to have combat MOSs and are all support. Honestly i donā€™t know much about the Air Guard. Iā€™ve never worked with them and have never seen them over seas. The closest iā€™ve come is them laughing at us as they do their ā€œdeploymentā€ state side on an airforce base. Youā€™ll forgive me if iā€™m a little biased toward them not to mention jealous. šŸ™‚ EDIT: To sum it up if you want to join and not give back to much. Go Air guard! Youā€™re treated better. Better deployments. Mobility isnā€™t as good as combat arms but still not bad MOS depending. Just as good of pay as everyone else. ---
