Oh you should have seen the first picture I was gonna put up, but then I remembered it was a family friendly forum.  Let's just say there was NO doubt where the "Spray" was coming from.

Alright…now Randy, before you read this, I think you’ll need to get your phone and dial 9-1 and then put your finger on the other 1. Any Dogs in the area be ready to respond to a heart attack at Randy’s place! After a lot of thought I knew one of the groups that I feel like I could help and do well with is soldiers. I looked into it last Fall and the paperwork finally came through and led to an interview and swearing in today. After all I've done for you, treated you like a member of my own family, you go and join the ARMY!  I don't know if I will survive the shock long enough to dial 911. I feel so, so violated! OK now that I KNOW you feel SO sorry for your traitorous act, the only other thing I can say is CONGRATULATIONS! You not only found a way to continue doing what you enjoy, you found a way to show your patriotism and compassion for those who safeguard our very way of life. Are you full time or part time? I am guessing full time. What is your rank? P.S. At least it wasn't the Marines. Again Rich, Congratulations and I wish you MANY years in your new life. Randy lol! This is part time...classic 1 w/e a month, 2 weeks a year and I need to do a 1 month basic officer leadership course in Texas at some point. I'm going in as a 1st Lt based upon education and work experience. I think the basic officer training would make a lot of you guys chuckle. My recruiter kept saying "there are 60 year old dentists getting trained- they don't make you into SEALS!" lol...that being said, I've been upping my work outs for some time and will do very well on the PT test (for my age range...lol)

Feederle:
I don't know about now, but when I was still in the Air Force the "Guard" will be more or less like a part time job. Basically he will only "Be in" one weekend each month, and a two week "Tour" each year. The rest of the time he will be a "Civilian".
Rich please correct me if I am wrong, I have been out of the loop now for close to 21 and a half years.

I have no hard facts to back this up, but it appears to me that the state National Guard is much more closely meshed with the federal units than they used to be and has current equipment. They seem to be called up for active duty much more frequently also. Why, in my state, the Air Guard actually has uniforms now instead of the cutoffs, sandals and T-shirts they used to wear.

Yes the National Guard is more active than it used to be. Part of that is the size of the military. Guard is still better than Reserves for several reasons. If they want to activate a member of the Guard the whole unit has to be activated, while the Reserve can call up individuals. Guard more involved with state emergencies, serving local community, etc. Moving/promotion is easier in the Guard as well. Again, congrats on your decision.
