@iYUk1,

Yes, it is possible for the Guard to deploy to Iraq. We have many troops overseas now, but they are all very highly trained individuals!

@gunnut3345 -

There are many requirements to being a Soldier in the National Guard as well! Choosing between the two is definitely a matter of your personal choice and what you want with your life. If you have any questions, please click on the "Talk to a Soldier" Tab on our Channel. Good luck!

@jo3man84 before you do that, talk to me. I think you'd much much rather go Reserves over Guard, or even active duty. for promotion/pay reasons, how hard you'll get worked, pension, later job opportunities, financial security (remember Guard is run by the state, Reserves is run by the nations, but in guard you get national and state benefits, where as reserves get only national benefits).

best in my opinion is going Active Duty and if you contact me i'll tell you why and give you a lot more info
