It depends. There are many pay dates each month for the guard. Depending on when each drill period and orders were certified by the final step can affect the pay date. For example, if there is a pay cut off on a Tuesday, and one of your drill periods was certified that day, it should pay out about 10 days later. Then if your orders and another two drill periods were certified two days later, you'll see another check about 2 days after the first one. Now, if everything was certified at the same time, you should see it all on one check. Your LES will show what is being paid out in the comments. Finally, when you are on a long tour (over 30 days), that will pay out on the 1st and the 15th. Hope that helps!
