Like every job related to the United States military, one must physically be capable of serving, much attend and pass "boot camp," and then one must take an oath of allegiance to the country.
In the United States, there are seven Armed Forces Reserve Components. These include the Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, the Army National Guard, and the Air National Guard. Each component serves to provide additional support and personnel to active-duty forces as needed.

No you can, you can only have one job in the Air Force, you can be a pilot OR an engineer. Unless you joined the Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard, you could be a pilot in civilian life AND be an engineer while youre in the reserve or guard. If you joined active duty Air Force, you could do one job and then after a while you could retrain in another job and do that. Bottom line is that you cant do more than one job at a time in the US military
The United States Coast Guard is one of the seven major divisions of the United States Armed Forces. The Coast Guard used to be a division of the Navy.
Over 1,000,000 soldiers serve collectively in the Active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard.

It's a reserve force of the military.
Without getting too technical, the basic difference is that the Air Force Reserve is the reserve forces for the active Air Force, and the Air National Guard is specifically attached to one state. The governor of the respective state is the commander in chief for their guard. The same goes for the Army. Both the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard ARE part of the Air Force. The reserve is federal while the guard is state. Both wear name tapes that state U.S. Air Force on their uniforms.
