It was a great experience. You meet people and become family with most. I think the soft skills you learn are priceless but with that said you get out of it what you put in. The hardest part of the job is being away from family but it is a choice you make and the reward is worth the sacrifice.

Days are filled with administrative actions. Filled with felow workers

My typical weekend was spent training and performing maintenance on the equipment. I learned how to be a soldier and apply the knowledge gained during my AIT training. The management was typical military leadership and most of it was great. The hardest part of the job was the time it took me away from my family and the most enjoyable was the many friends – more...  that I made, as well as serving my country. – less

I have been in the National Guard for 13 years and have had a lot of fun while always being challenged to reach goals in which I have set for myself.

I worked long hours sometimes 18 hour days, but the satisfaction of feeding the soldiers knowing that was all worth the effort.

They are good people to work with. In my unit, they are always teaching us some new. My unit always keep us up to date on whats going on.

I joined the Army in 2003 immediately after graduating high school. I served for four years on active duty and was honorably discharged from the armed forces in 2007. After about a year as a civilian, I missed the discipline, the camaraderie, and the sense of duty that I had in the military. I joined the Texas Army National Guard in 2008 and fell in – more...  love with the idea of being a "citizen soldier". I get all the excellent training and experience of the Army, but I get to stay local and can further my education while serving. Serving my country is very important to me, but equally important is furthering my education. In the National Guard, I can do both. – less

The National Guard was really an experience for me. That was my first taste of the military before going Active Duty. I learned how important it is to have teamwork, further on down the line, I learned alot about leadership.

Army National Guard of Minnesota. Weekend drills and 2 weeks a year for training. Learned valuable skills and successfully completed missions in a timely and safe manner.

I served both Active, Reserve, and National Guard.
I loved the Army and still do I was proud to serve and proud to wear the uniform.

I was in the Ohio National Guard for 4 years. I meet alot of new people, I learned how to get in the best shape of my like.

A typical day at the armory on any given weekend can begin with tedious labor that can last from 8am until lunch. Bathroom breaks and water breaks are brief unless told to take a break for x amount of time. The group of soldiers I work with, we manage ourselves unless we are told to do other wise. My co-workers are very laid back but we all get the – more...  job done in a timely manner and we get it done right the first time. The hardest part of this job is dealing with attitudes from outsiders or others who are stressed out. The most enjoyable part of the this job is no matter how many people you meet there is always a handful that you will keep in touch with or you become really good friends with. – less

its a fun productive envorment. you are only paid for the time you spend there so the checks in almost a joke! but that is truely the only bad part about the guard.

The job was tough working alot of weekends but well worth it because i wa sand still am a U.S Marine.I enjoyed being a part of the best and I was proud.

A really great environment to hone my skills and work ethics. Learned, in detail, the inner workings of supply chain procedure. Was able to learn and refine my skills in money management that involved multiple accounts funded by the US Army.

This is more of a way of life versus being a job. I owe everything to the US Army National Guard. I received skills, great benefits, and met some of the most wonderful people during my 24 year career.

Great job in the guard working on M1 Tanks . Troubleshooting the systems was the best part of the job.

if you wanna do one weekend a month go for it... especially if your in school. but go active if your looking to serve your country. go active.

Great training opportunities with a really good group of people.
