Yes, and they often do.
Over 1,000,000 soldiers serve collectively in the Active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard.
Detainees may exploit signs of inconsistency, lack of communication or cooperation among guards, over-familiarity with individual guards, or any perceived weaknesses (e.g. lack of training, overly aggressive behavior) to manipulate or test boundaries.
The National Guard Bureau is over the Army/Air National Guard, but under the Dept. of Defense and Dept. of The Army, & Dept.of the Air Force. The Bureau get's their info from the latter 3 Dept.'s and funnels it down to the Army/Air National Guard. Note: The Bureau and the Army & Air National Guard's have different official seals.
During the Viet War, the US Army had priority. USMC recruiters often walked amongst the new inductees (draftees) and selected the men that they wanted for the Marines; "you you and you, stand over there...you're going into the Marine Corps." The USAF and USN had a waiting list for joining (as did the Army & Air National Guards & the USCG).
How long your training in the National Guard depends on what your MOS (your job) is. The least technical jobs are shorter in length, while the more technical jobs are generally greater in length. If you want an estimate, you can expect training to be a minimum of 13 weeks, with some of the longer training to be over a year. Again, it all depends on how technical your MOS is.
The National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee has training facilities all over the US and Canada. See the link below for more info.
There is no "Florida Army Reserve", although there are Army Reserve units in Florida. The Army Reserve is wholly a federal agency, which the states have no jurisdiction over. The Florida Army National Guard is probably the agency you're thinking of. While no specific number is published, the Florida Army National Guard is estimated to have approximately 12,000 personnel.

Whatever were the faults of General George B. McClellan, his recognized strengths were in training soldiers. He was assigned by President Lincoln to organize and train the new Army of the Potomac. His drilling exercises on guards and sentinels were almost like the Roman legion policies on these matters. McClellan instructed his staff to insure that guards must always be posted to watch over troop encampments. His basic rules entailed:* The number of guards were to be determined by circumstance;* Guard must be posted in positions that will not allow trespassers to be unnoticed and questioned;* Guards must be in position to give warnings to the main troop encampment in times of danger;* Guards must be in constant motion;* Guards in pairs should be used whenever possible; and* Failures and/or sleeping while on post were subject to possible death as punishment.
No. Regulation always beats policies.
You can split it into two parts, BCT and AIT, it's for reserve components only
Only after completing your enlistment. When I was in (1967-1972) you could transfer from one branch to another. It is a long and difficult process. There have been people who left the Corps and transferred to the Navy for religious reason, Rev. Wright is an example. I had an option to join the Army as a WO back in the late sixties being supported by a senior CWO in the transfer into the intelligence community of the Army. But I was planning on a career in the Corps.
