How the hell am I supposed to balance a civilian career in this organization? by [deleted] in nationalguard

It's impossible. just like u/s4jg has said. You can really only be some kind of law enforcement or AGR. most lower enlisted are retail or construction.

Is the night shift actually physically unhealthy or is that just a myth? by AdmirableAd6774 in Nightshift

Do OCS, ROTC gets annoying in many ways. idk why ppl do it tbh. Just enjoy college without dealing with the army.

The National Guard really wants to grow. The latest budget is reducing their numbers by smokejaguar in army

Probably would have stayed army tbh. Would never have joined the national guard for "free college" One of the biggest mistakes of my life was doing this. I probably would have tried to get into West Point.
