Civilians can get onto post. National Guard members can get onto post. However, being in the National Guard will not get you access to restricted access installations. For example, access to Cheyenne Mountain is very strictly controlled, and being in the National Guard without a legitimate reason for being there will not get you access.
Go Guard.
If your National Guard Unit is ordered on actiuve duty and sent to Iraq, YES.
There is not a main contact for National Guard Recruiting. Instead, anybody interested in joining the National Guard can go the their website and contact a recruiter closest to them.
It depends on your MOS. They like to send you to the closest basic training base to your AIT training base because it's cheaper that way.
If you are thinking about a possible career with the National Guard you should first graduate high school. Then go down to the National Guard induction center in your area and apply for entrance.
Yes. National Guard units are deploying both to Iraq and Afghanistan. Here in North Carolina, the NC National Guard just recently returned from Iraq, and my two deployments to Iraq have been with National Guard units.
The only way to be enlisted into any military branch of service is through a recruiter.
They were not regular Army soldiers - they were farmers, mostly, but if the call came to fight, they could grab their rifle and pack, and be ready to go "in a minute". They were like the great grandfathers of our modern National Guard.
well 70% of the soldiers in Iraq right now are National Guardsmen, they are among the best trained for a reason Well...70% of the forces in the Iraqi war are Army National Guard, Army National Guard was also in a very important war...called the Revolutionary war, thanks to that war, America is it's own country, so yeah... the Army National Guard is kind of involved...this is exactly why schools should have military history classes.
yes. Just ask the sargent.
There is no "National Guard Act of 1974" that I'm able to find. What you're probably thinking of is the Total Force Policy, enacted by General Creighton Abrams, as a means of assuring that the reserve components and National Guard would be fully integrated with their regular counterparts. Creighton Abrams, who believed that a country should not go to war without the consent of its people, thought this would prevent the US from engaging in future wars without the consent of the American people. It effectively brought into question the status of the National Guard - were they now federal soldiers, or were they still state soldiers? Legislation passed years after the Total Force Policy went into effect increased debate on this matter.
First, there is no Air Force National Guard. It is called the Air National Guard. The military does not train anyone to become a doctor. You would go to med. school yourself and upon completion of the course, join the Air Guard as a physician.
