Not only do you do exactly what active duty does but you stay in one spot your whole career. Hey if moving every year and uprooting your family is what you're looking for, more power to you. I would like my family to stay where I grew up and still serve my country. Meanwhile earning a college degree, and holding a great paying civilian job. Active duty needs National Guard and NG needs AD. One team one fight! Everyone has their own preference, but NG is a great and crucial asset to our nation.
Wow... Anyone who commented that the NG is a waste of time must be retarded. The national guard is an elite force of many educated individuals! The funny thing is, NG is one weekend a month and they get the same benefits basically. Education paid for, VA benefits, retirement, and more! Not only do you recieve these benefits but you can help your own community! My community was recently struck by a horrible flood. Nothing like rolling up to your own neighbors house in a LMTV and helping them.
National guard , underpaid security guards for corporate America , expendable , easily replaced, waste of your time and life being in an unprofitable - uneducated -no benefit- job- with less then a welfare check retirement.
its funny the people that say this is of waste of time probley couldnt even survive basic IF U DONT WANNA SAY ANYTHING GOOD DONT WATCH THE VID whos really wasting time
@surfingcali69 I did a year in Iraq, in the NG, I get veteran's preference, va benefits, disability, and i do 20 years to RETIRE. A veteran is one who served their country overseas, in a war.
The national guard is like being in the cub scouts, the active duty military does not respect you national guard want a bees , so next time your at your unit look around at the fat guts , and when your at your civilian job driving a patrol car look and see if your guts in the way of the steering wheel, and when Rambo trashes your town don't tell your CO that you have to be back at the office monday
Your state military _ not federal _ no VA benefits _ no veterans preference for federal city or even " state jobs" how funny is that!!!!
Joining the national guard, if your activated for a national emergency like 911 an act if WAR- terrorism and your hurt, your not covered thru the state or VA your fucked!
I think any person who wears a uniform to protect the citizens of their country is respected, ignorant bitch. Its about service to your country, unless you've served than your mouth.
@surfingcali69 Bro, are you stupid? All that shit you said isn't true. How you that dumb? I mean seriously? National Guard is just as important as Air Force, Marines, Army, Navy. Still protecting your country. Protecting your freedom. So I'd shut the fuck up if I were you. Plus, this is part time. You'd have a civiillian job. For me, I'd be a police officer / MP. So yeah, shut the fuck up.
I personally only have great things to say about the guard. I've been in for 11 years and I enjoyed my time as a private as well as an NCO. I've earned 2 college degrees payed for by the guard. Traveled to places I other wise would have never traveled to.... Seen things most people will never see. I'm from Louisiana and worked With hurricane Katrina, Ike and gustov. Nothing but heroes! If your from Louisiana and interested in joining the guard call me.... I only speak the truth!! I'm SFC Mike M
I am hoping to join the National Guard next February, does any CURRENT National Guard person have any tips that they could give me? Like what to expect, how to get in the bosses' good sides, what I should do to prepare... Thanks
@IloveMIT8923 yea dont join plan on standing around and doing a whole lot of nothing dont ass kiss nobdoy likes a brown noser get stuckin a unit thats 100 miles away trust ME what u sign up for is NOT what your gunna do, we aint fighting for freedom what are we fighting for were fighting these bs war people are dieing for no reason ive seen it in iraq,freedom haha gtf out we are slaves to a government who dont give a shit dont worry if u do die youll get a medal:) cant wait till im a free man!!

I don't see why we send guardsmen overseas. Hence the word NATIONAL not INTERNATIONAL. We need the National Guard here in the US to protect us from these damn crips and bloods and mafia.
@Rantalicious The term National Guard is based on the New York militia changing their name to National Guard, because it was a French military unit that a French advisor (revolutionary war) commanded. The renamed their militia to honor of him
ok... 1 thing is not clear to me: as US guardsmen, can you be deployed overseas when ordered or are you free tbase? cause im going to join the dutch national guard next month and here its only inside my country. if you want deployment you heve to sign up for it.
FOR ALL YOU FUCK ASS DEMONS OUT THERE SHUT THE HELL UP AND GO BACK TO THE PITS OF HELL WHERE YOU CAME FROM.!!!! TALKING SHIT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO SERVE AND PROTECT EVERYDAY.

@blackyblackblack505 well duh.... seriously 1 you're an idiot for enlisting for the money.2 you dont get paid much at all is cause with the national guard you can hold a job as a guard and get a civilian job as well. but you my friend are a greedy bastard who just looked for an easy way out and you got bit in the ass
@ladiezman247 Do you honestly think the military is an easy way out? LOL you sir are retarded. Pride and honor are words to get you to sacrafice yourself; I'd like to think that evolution made me smarter than that. I'd rather be the one sending YOU into battle while I watch in my two story mansion we all call the white house.
@blackyblackblack505 lma did i say it was an easy way no i said it was your easy way out cause you enlisted for the money so dont talk to me about pride and honor while you contridict your self saying you enlisted for the money you sir are the fool i enlisted for pride and honor while you enlisted for money. so re read what your saying befor you make your self look like a fool
@ladiezman247 Exactly dude! I enlisted for the money and look at how shitty they pay us! That is OBVIOUSLY NOT the easy way out lol. Your pride and honor makes you feel good? That's o.k. with me you can go up in front while I sit in the back and watch you lol. When I use my intellect and logic to win wars you'll see that there is little honor killing other people.
@blackyblackblack505 you my friend are the fool like i said you tried looking for an easy way out but yet. your lame greedy ass didnt due reserch you get paid little. but you my friend are a disgrace.id rather die with honor then be dishonorable my whole life.
@blackyblackblack505 Wow buddy, your moral compass is so fucked up I would be suprised if you could find your own car in a parking lot. You have no intellectual knowledge or logic. You my friend are mistaking these atributes for greed. MONEY? Really? That's why you joined? lol WOW you must have been the punch line for a few days at the recruiting station. You're name is ladiezman... you're fucking lame dude.
I want to enlist in the Military for their training. Most of the special operation classes that I want to join requires a military background. If you're joining the military for money, there must be something wrong with you. Even if you're paid highly, you need to factor the transitional skills you can bring with you to civilian life. I'm just worried that once I join, I get shipped out to suicide missions. That's not cool.
@nickintp there never gonig to send you on a "suicide mission" they'll give you the skills to make it out of a fight alive and well you just have to use them and be uber focused. There will aways be a light at the end of the tunnel dont worry about the training the army will take care of that
I want to be a full time soldier , but I am married with a son. I believe joining the National Guard allows you to serve your country and be home with your family as well. Now if my wife wanted to leave her job and her family behind on her Owen, I would go Active Duty but it is a lot for me to ask of her just to do those thing for me.there for I join the National Guard .
@88M325TC HEY STFU U DUMB 5 YEAR OLD THE NATIONAL GUARD DOES THE SAME WORK U JUST GET A CITIZE JOB AD SPEND MORE TIME WIT R FAMILY AT THE SAME TIME. ID LIKE TO SEE YOU GO OUT THERE YOU FUCKING PRICK.
so now my good ol buddy is going to afghanistan, national gaurd was supposed to keep it clear, ended up having trouble with taliban coming back and regrouping in afghanistan. at least we know the usmc and other military branches will get it done....right.
All this inter-service rivalry garbage really has to stop on this page .... Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard are all brothers in arms. Each has a part to play and they're all equally strong.
Stupid State of California eliminated medical benefits for our guardsman in this state. I would of enlisted but I joined the Marine Corps. If they didn't take away the medical benefits then I would of joined
I don't know what to think, I hear the recruiters lie like mother fuckers. All I know is that I want to do something important, and serving the country seems to be fulfilling enough.
im 26 years old im thinking about joining, im already talking to a recruiter but i been having douts. i just scared im gonna get into the national and not like it there.
@joj0724 well the hardest part is basic and ait. You make friends and enemies. After all that when you get to your home station you will like it better.

soon those guys will be rounding up citizens that disagree with the government being called terrorists. poor kids know not what they just signed up for.

I see the videos of these drones talking and riding tanks, but what I really want to see is them exploding and getting their arms and legs ripped off. I was very mad when I found out that video of the man getting his head cut off was fake.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I couldn't agree with you more. Just a bunch of obedient soul dead conformist members of the american consumer culture and that goes to everyone that supports them too.
Plus most people who join don't really care about their paycheck it's really in the back of their mind. They join mostly because they want to do whats best for their country.
Sorry to ask another question, but let's say if I do my time for 2 years. And im still in for another 6 years to be called back, can I travel out of country during the 6 years? Or if i want to move out of country?
This video is so motivating. And embodies what we true Soldiers are. 28th Infantry Division, Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Putting Active Duty units to shame since 1879.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! As the most deployed National Guard state, we have equipment that Active Duty units don't even have. We're also the only National Guard to have a Stryker Brigade Combat Team, which just came home from Iraq recently. We are the best, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You're making an awesome choice.
I would love to be in the National Guard, I like what they stand for. I don't want to join the Marines, they're just a bunch of people who WANT to kill people - besides, every ex-marine that I know is a fucking moron. I got turned down from the National Guard for having Asthma, but at least I tried.
Maybe your state has a state defense program. My state (Virginia) has the Virginia Defense Force. Kind of like the National Guard except you can't be deployed to another country and I don't believe theres a bootcamp. You can still serve that way possibly if your state has that? Or maybe a Police officer, Paramedic, of Firefighter.
you should not talk shit excpecialy for a guy that hasnt even made it threw basic. n ur complaining about the guards standards being to high for you. a person that has the stones to talk shit about people serving their country will make nothing more the a substandard soldier, citizen, father or son
Show some fucking respect. There are guard members in Iraq serving their fifth tour right there in the mud and blood with the USMC, some of them not coming home for up to two years at a time.
you obviously are, and never have been, and for the sake of this country i hope you never are a marine. A soldier would have shown more respect.
Fuck you. We're all fighting for the same country last time I checked. If you don't like it than get the hell out of the United States of America. We stand united, not diveded. Some of these guys might not even return from combat and might not ever see their families again. And for you to say their pussys. Any one that talks shit about the military is a pussy themselves.
@TheActionGuy1 - If you feel that strongly I hope you answer the call and can gratefully serve for our Armed Forces. It's a great privilege. God Bless America
@TheActionGuy1 I'm Prior Service Active Duty USAF, and my brother spent over 10 years in the California Air Guard. We both enjoyed our time & learned valuable skills that we still utilize today in our current jobs. Congrats on considering joining and I hope you do; for the Country, The Brotherhood, and for yourself. I'm looking into going back to serve again via Army NG. HOOAH!
the last month of my second deployment we were given a platoon of National Guard "Soldiers" to pull guard while we went on missions, did patrols, and convoys(the real soldier stuff). These guys were so fucked up we had to pull them out of the towers in two days. One guy would forget to bring his weapon to guard, one would be playing his PSP, the other wouldnt wear any gear at all and sleep in the tower. We put all these NG "soldiers" on permanent KP because thats all they were good for.
I wanna be in the NG...I don't live the military life, though. I'm 15, and a 10th grader. I wanna be a soldier and a medic.
I'm the first female who will serve in my family. Since Grandpa's time, no one has served in my family. (He was a Marine in his 20s, now he's in his 70s and dropped out at 24.)
I really want this...I'm a girl in a suburb that's 1 square mile. But I can do this.:)
i was in a national guard boot camp with my cousin and 4 of our friends when i was about 14 or 15, the way these guys are trained is no joke, we all dropped except for one of my friends whose in the army atm
They're trying to turn the national guard into a primarily light infantry type role, they will still have tanks but in reduced numbers. they will instead be fielding primarily strikers and bradlys instead.
on a side note I heard something along the lines of the federal government dosent want tanks in the hands of the state but that was just a rumor.
dosent matter to me anymore anyway, i got discharged a week ago from the guard. Im switching over to the Marine Corps.
well on that side of your's. the U.S Army is reducing it's tank numbers. that's for both active and Guard. tanks are not needed that much any more in modern warfare as they where 20 years ago. like the knights of old tanks will go away.
I've been in a year and a half, going on two. I would make NO changes, and have NO second thoughts about being in. Im very glad. There are no cons, besides being away from home, and probally put into danger. But the pros are endless, and you will never be the same (in a good way).
For those of you who are in the National Guard, I just want to say thank you very much for your service to this country. However, I would like to ask you a simple question. If you were ordered by your captain or commander to go into US Cities and towns and confiscate firearms from lawbiding citizens just like they did in the city of New Orleans, would you obey that order or would you refuse to carry out that order? Thank you!
yea, get ready to wait, at least on the east coast that is, don't know about the west. I'm in Virginia,and actualy signing my contract and swearing in thursday,first off. MEPS will suck, and you may need to go back a second,third,fourth,fith,ect. time.MEPS is the MILITARY ENTRANCE PROSESSING STATION.they will DQ you for anything(medical) possible.But first and formost, try and schedule an ASVAB,you have to score over a50 to enlist right now,although the normal standard is 35. so start studying
ASVAB for dummies...really look into the electronics section and construction section. everything else is basically common sense. math wise just know how to multiply large numbers and divide. also know your basics of geometry...triangles in particular....how gears work...etc...I just took mine last week and scored well enough for officer school and intel school but I dont know my exact score yet.
Not only do you do exactly what active duty does but you stay in one spot your whole career. Hey if moving every year and uprooting your family is what you're looking for, more power to you. I would like my family to stay where I grew up and still serve my country. Meanwhile earning a college degree, and holding a great paying civilian job. Active duty needs National Guard and NG needs AD. One team one fight! Everyone has their own preference, but NG is a great and crucial asset to our nation.

Wow... Anyone who commented that the NG is a waste of time must be retarded. The national guard is an elite force of many educated individuals! The funny thing is, NG is one weekend a month and they get the same benefits basically. Education paid for, VA benefits, retirement, and more! Not only do you recieve these benefits but you can help your own community! My community was recently struck by a horrible flood. Nothing like rolling up to your own neighbors house in a LMTV and helping them.

- putting your life on hold for a part time \ life time commitment.

- no VA benefits if your injured on state duty
- have to do 20 years to be VA qualified or to even be considered a veteran.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! As the most deployed National Guard state, we have equipment that Active Duty units don't even have.

I would love to be in the National Guard, I like what they stand for. I don't want to join the Marines, they're just a bunch of people who WANT to kill people - besides, every ex-marine that I know is a fucking moron. I got turned down from the National Guard for having Asthma, but at least I tried.

Maybe your state has a state defense program. My state (Virginia) has the Virginia Defense Force. Kind of like the National Guard except you can't be deployed to another country and I don't believe theres a bootcamp. You can still serve that way possibly if your state has that? Or maybe a Police officer, Paramedic, of Firefighter.

the last month of my second deployment we were given a platoon of National Guard "Soldiers" to pull guard while we went on missions, did patrols, and convoys(the real soldier stuff). These guys were so fucked up we had to pull them out of the towers in two days. One guy would forget to bring his weapon to guard, one would be playing his PSP, the other wouldnt wear any gear at all and sleep in the tower. We put all these NG "soldiers" on permanent KP because thats all they were good for.

Mrberry2117 2 years ago
They're trying to turn the national guard into a primarily light infantry type role, they will still have tanks but in reduced numbers. they will instead be fielding primarily strikers and bradlys instead.
on a side note I heard something along the lines of the federal government dosent want tanks in the hands of the state but that was just a rumor.
dosent matter to me anymore anyway, i got discharged a week ago from the guard. Im switching over to the Marine Corps.

well on that side of your's. the U.S Army is reducing it's tank numbers. that's for both active and Guard. tanks are not needed that much any more in modern warfare as they where 20 years ago. like the knights of old tanks will go away.

For those of you who are in the National Guard, I just want to say thank you very much for your service to this country. However, I would like to ask you a simple question. If you were ordered by your captain or commander to go into US Cities and towns and confiscate firearms from lawbiding citizens just like they did in the city of New Orleans, would you obey that order or would you refuse to carry out that order? Thank you!

ASVAB for dummies...really look into the electronics section and construction section. everything else is basically common sense. math wise just know how to multiply large numbers and divide. also know your basics of geometry...triangles in particular....how gears work...etc...I just took mine last week and scored well enough for officer school and intel school but I dont know my exact score yet.
