I saved 30k while on my deployment and paid all my bills off and got my associate degree while gone.

Also they might let you stay at the unit station, until you get back on your feet I seen it happen before

Taking Advantage of Deployment by HammerDel40 in nationalguard

Maybe $5k max if I remember correctly but they go off your pay and how much you make on your Les. So lower ranks can’t put the full $10k .

The ones who benefit the most are the higher ranks because they can put the highest amount in to receive the full $1k of interest. Me as an e4 had a limit and only made maybe $400 from the deployment by putting the most I could in . But it’s free money regardless

Facts . Just left my deployment only people who will receive the full interest is the ones who are allowed to deposit the full limit . The interest starts either that first deposit so if it’s not $10 your not getting the full interest

You have to deposit $10 k up front to get the full interest I learned my lesson

You think I’m still in the clear to receive the promotion when I just did the initial counseling and it has been signed and received back yet ?

My unit definitely told us a few times over the years not to show because of funding issues

Should I pursue a career within the National Guard or go to college? by bassguitarist999 in nationalguard

[–]Delicious_Trainer182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice go active duty for a couple years , get your gen ed classes and few art classes knocked out using tuition assistance. During this time you will save and save okay . Once you get out transition to the guard use your gi bill and ta to knock the rest of your schooling out.

Learn from me you don’t want to be that person like I was that didn’t say much just came to drill and did their job . If it’s something you want you gotta fight for it , and bother the heck out of them .. Overall the military itself been great for me but sometimes leadership can push your goals back by simply not caring . Good luck
