No. Once in basic, it would be impossible.

One of the most infamous demonstrations against the war in Vietnam took place at Kent State University, 1970, when National Guard troops fired on Kent State students and protesters. The quote below comes from an article about Kent State in Wikipedia: >

The only President that I know of that was a Commander of an artillery unit in the National Guard was Harry S. Truman, who was the Commander of 129th Field Artillery, Missouri Army National Guard, in 1918, During World War 1.

THE ROYAL SCOTS (THE ROYAL REGIMENT)(1ST OF FOOT)

The Royal Scots is the oldest Regiment of the Line in the British Army.

As part of the BEF, the 1st Battalion Royal Scots suffered heavy casualties covering the retreat to Dunkirk, and many were taken prisoner.

Mr Brown is correct, John Hepburns Regt.formed in 1625,later called the Royal Scots, Royal Regt. of Foot in 1633,was serving in France and Belgium, and at Dunkirk. But the questioner asked about the Scots Guards. The Marquis of Argyll's Royal Regt.1642 was disbanded and later re-formed as the Scots Regt. of Foot Guards in 1660,(also known as the Kings Regt.) in 1940 the 1st.Batt.was in Norway,then Tunisia and Italy.

2nd. Batt.were in Egypt, then Libya,Syria and N.W.Europe.

3rd.Batt.(armoured) were in U.K.'til 1944 then N.W.Europe,they converted back to infantry role in 1945.

4th. Batt.was a holding Batt. in U.K. 1940-43.

So I would think that the Regt. did not serve at Dunkirk.

My father won the military medal in the retreat from Holland, as I understand some of the Scots Guards may have retreated into Belgium then France and therefore would have been evacuated from Dunkirk

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.

At Kent State, it was believed a soldier fired a round accidentlly which resulted in other soldiers to fire their weapons. I am not familiar with the story at Jackson State.

The US Dept. of Veterans Affairs changes it's policies every so often; based upon the needs of the veterans. For example, if there's not very many WWI veterans, which there are not, and far more veterans from past operations in the middle east (aka Southwest Asia) which there are; then the VA will address those needs of the current veterans first since there are so many of them (compared to WWI as an example). During the Vietnam War, many National Guardsmen were looked upon as draft dodgers, former President George Bush Junior was looked upon that way, when he flew an F-102 Delta Dagger with the Texas AIR NATIONAL GUARD. It is true that many guardsmen enlisted to avoid regular army duty (6 yrs in the guard stationed in your home state verses 2 yrs regular army and an excellent chance to go to Vietnam); but it's also true that many guard units went to Vietnam...4 squadrons of AIR NATIONAL GUARD F-100 Super Sabre jets flew over 30,000 combat missions in Vietnam. It's also true that many USAF and USN, as well as USCG men enlisted in those branches to AVOID duty in the US Army/US Marine Corps (which meant Vietnam). There was a WAITING LIST to join the Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard during the late sixties. There was also a waiting list (a clipboard which you had to put your name, address, phone number on) to join the National Guard. Therefore, in effect, servicemen in the USAF, USN, and USCG can be considered cousins to National Guardsmen, as far as the stigma of draft evasion is concerned. However, being a Guardsmen certainly was better than being an active duty Sailor or Airman. Bottom line: The war has been over for over 40 years, time has mellowed the public's perspective of the National Guard, and probably the VA too. Contact the VA and have your NGB 22 ready (National Guard Bureau discharge certificate) to respond to their questions.

I first thank you very much for being a national guard soldier. Not only are you my hero's but you live in Alabama which just happens to be my favorite state! :] You could try a part time job and a shop or restaurant near by in your hometown or go bigger, maybe go to college if you have the money. I hope you find a job that suits your dreams! Because you deserve it! Thank you for serving our country!

It wouldn't come own to one single name. When National Guard units are activated and deployed, whole units are deployed, and these will often be activated as attachments to Regular Army units. The National Guard has been involved in OIF since it kicked off, and several National Guard units were called up simultaneously.

There are three entrance gates on Fort Knox. They are the Chaffee Gate, the Brandenburg Gate, and the Wilson Gate. Normally there are at least 2 guards in each gate shack. There are also Military Police as Fort Knox is a military post.

Typically, very few Guard unit's served in Viet-Nam. Whether it was Johnson's decision or the defense secretary is not quite clear.

Not always. See your local VA representative.

Both entities fall under the same pay scale. There is no difference in pay.

Yes, you just need to notify your unit, and make arrangements to substitute any UTAs you miss. You can even go to a foreign country when you're on leave from the active Army.

The same as for Regular Army. As a deployed NG service member, you are Army, with all the benefits and perks of Regular Army. You also serve the same as Regular Army, and that usually means in any manner as needed and dictated by command.

42 is the current cutoff for enlistment in the Army as an entry level trainee, IIRC. Take 42, add the number of years prior service you have, and that should indicate the max age you'd be eligible for reentry.
