The Coast Guard is a fully federal force, assigned with the enforcement of maritime law and security.
The National Guard is a partially state organized force (although ultimate authority rests with the federal government), and is a reserve component of both the Army (Army National Guard) and Air Force (Air National Guard).

They should know the current incentives and bonuses available and the time frame for qualifying for those bonuses. As an example, you currently may be eligible for a $10,000 or $5,000 bonus if you re-enlist between 90 and 365 days from your ETS date, but not if you re-enlist less than 90 days from getting out.
