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.
Fort Sill. There are some Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training units there.
No, and you may be prohibited from enlisting after your probation is discharged.

Basic Training for Illinois National Guard is 9 weeks.
The recruiter has no role. This responsibility lands with the unit the enlistee is assigned to.
Training.
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.
No, but it is your responsibility to attend training with that state.
No.
Yes. The day a service member swears in and leaves home for basic training they are placed on active duty status and remain there regardless of their actual job until graduation. Upon graduation they may be returned to reserve status if that is the type of unit they serve with. Same goes for National Guard.
Hutchinson Air National Guard Base, located in Kansas, has not ended. It is currently operational as a training site and support facility for the Kansas Air National Guard.
If a person joins the National Guard today (August 2010), I think there is an excellent possibility of being sent to combat duty in Afghanistan, or Iraq.
