Absolutely. You may however have to change your MOS that serves the Air Guards needs.
Yes, it called palace chase. Is very simple, just talk to a air guard recruiter.
No. You have to complete you're obligation with the active duty first.
It actually depends how much time you have left. If it's less than a year, it's unlikely. Try talking to your career counselor in the unit or battalion level.
When your contracted tour of duty has expired, yes.
Over 1,000,000 soldiers serve collectively in the Active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard.
There is an acronym AGR which stands for active guard reserve. This is for members that are on active duty with the Guard or Reseves.
Most National Guard officers are on reserve duty status.
The US Army National Guard and Air National Guard are the United States' military reserve force. The National Guard forces may be called into active duty by their respective governors to aid in times of domestic emergencies such as natural disasters. Deployment to foreign soils for sustained active duty operations is also possible such as was seen following the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The same as the active and reserve components. AR-670-1
When you're on leave from active duty, you're on leave - you're not a member of the reserve or National Guard, and you don't drill with them.
Probably not. It's extremely hard just switching from a reservist to active duty, I've heard guys that we're waiting more than 14 months to make the switch to active and are still on hold. Its all about the needs or the Marines reserves and the the needs of the active duty command. It probably won't even be possible to switch, unless you haven't left for boot yet.
Total force Concept
Yes. It is an Army uniform. Active, Reserve and Guard comform to uniform policy.
There is no Army National Guard basic training. It is basic training at one of the US Army's active duty training base. All active, reserve, and guard members train together as one. The platoon guide is basically a leader of the platoon.
In the active reserve/national guard , it is the day your unit must release you from active reserve duty. This means you do not have to drill once a month anymore but will probably still be in the inactive reserve for some time specified in your contract.
There are AGR (Active Guard and Reserve) personnel assigned to National Guard units. Some personnel are also on active duty status on Title 10 orders. As for National Guard units, there are no full time National Guard units, except when they are activated on orders by the state or federal government; but, there are full time National Guard personnel within some units, usually at larger armories.
