Iam wondering if I qualify for medical services?
Some such as a VA home loan and perhaps the G.I. bill.
Can I get free hearing aid from the VA for my service . 1970-1976
Yes
Well, you provide a service to both your home state and country. Members of the National Guard are eligible for state and federal benefits. If you're new to an area, it's also a good way to help you find a job (speaking from personal experience here).
You may be eligible for a military and/or emergency deployment discount. Contact the insurance carrier to learn more.
Yes, National Guard retirees are eligible for burial in Arlington National Cemetery. They must meet the same eligibility criteria as other veterans which includes having served in the military, receiving an honorable discharge, and meeting certain residency requirements. The specific details and guidelines can be found on the Arlington National Cemetery website.
Yes, as an active soldier in the National Guard, you can receive payment in the form of a salary and various benefits. These payments are based on your rank, years of service, and the type of duty you perform. Additionally, you may also be eligible for other allowances and bonuses provided by the National Guard.
Not always. See your local VA representative.
No. It is a part time job. Only if you are injured in the line of duty.
Burial benefits no. I believe you would have to be retired from the Guard with 20 or more years.
Of course. You aren't active duty anymore.
Yes, former National Guard personnel may receive casualty assistance. The Department of Defense provides various benefits and support to the families of former National Guard members who have been killed or severely disabled in the line of duty. These benefits may include financial assistance, counseling services, and survivor benefits.
There are actually two National Guards, but when people say the National Guard they are probably (but not necessarily) talking about the Army National Guard. The other National Guard is the Air National Guard which is to the Air Force what the Army National Guard is to the Army.
No. There is only an Army National Guard and an Air National Guard.
There is the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard.
