National Guard Employer Reviews

I loved it, I was part of a team and I mattered. I loved serving our community and serving it well.

-Monthly drills to include two weeks of annual training
-Inventory of sensitive items in our armory and motor pool
-Further skills and knowledge of current events and global conflict
-Strengthen skills according to our specialization

Working at the National Guard could be hard. I always find a way to manage and make the day go easy.

I learned respect, discipline, and leadership. While being deployed to Iraq and Afganistan, I learned very well to bea team player.

Very enjoyable
Co-Workers are easy to co-operate with
Although there are long hours, the benefits of the job makes everything worth it.

One thing about the military is you learn to multitask not just your job. But numerous jobs. My typical day at work would be to make sure I make it to formation 15 minutes early. If your not early your late. And as far as my co-workers we got along great. Hardest part of my job was the long 18 hour days but you learn to adjust and keep moving without – more... complaining. Best part was learning my jobs. Admin work is a lot of fun. I enjoy filing and keeping things in order. I also enjoy my other jobs just to make sure the soldiers were 100 percent satisfied with the results. – less

Every thing about the Army is great. Only down fall is working with soldiers who don't care

Physical training, marksmanship, and other various duties. my superiors are my role models and who I look up to. My fellow soldiers are my best friends. the hardest part of the job is the job itself, but knowing that all the work i put in is making this world a safer place for my family and friends makes even the hardest days a walk in the park.

One weekend a month, two weeks a year. Serving your country is like nothing else. Your battle buddies are the best family you'll ever have.

I have been a National Guard member for the last eleven years and have have many different opportunities come my way. I would say that the good out weigh the bad hence the reason that I will continue my carrer as a National Guard member.

I was a Split option soldier, meaning went to basic while still in high school. After graduation from high you return and finish the advanced traing and qualifications. It was a stepping stone into going Active duty Army.

I recommend anyone who plans on joining the Army do a lot of research and determine what is right for you. It takes a lot out of you, but there is no greater reward than what you get out of it.

I traveled widely, took active duty in Germany for 30 months, and experienced a wide variety of officer-appropriate responsibilities.

Managers took charge when needed but were never bossy for no reason. Great work place, always happy during work hours.

Leadership cares for their own careers and no one elses. Government doesnt care to retain the NCO's but bring in trash and make our military soft.

A typical day includes everything from physical fitness training to tactical exercises to confidence course activities to briefing Army officers on our operations. As a cadet I focus on management skills acquisition by planning future events and preparing and giving regular briefings.

The Army changed my life and made me who I am today, provided me with a clearance and taught me the Army Values;

Great military experience. always staying in shape. very motivated. i have learned how to become a leader and work great well with others. the hardest part of this job was to hurry up and wait. loved to go out to the field and do some training

In order for me to be in the Army National Guard I was required to lose weight. I dropped the weight within the given time which was 45 days. I lost 30 pounds. Then once I was processed, I was sent to Ft. Jackson, SC to conduct Basic Combat Training. OCT. 2012- Jan. 2013. I graduated from there and proceeded to my next phase of training which was located – more... at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. Jan.2013-March 2013. I graduated from their and now I am back home. I will drill with my Unit in UC, TN. Once a weekend every month. So far, I have enjoyed my time in service and look forward to serving my country. – less

Since my time in the national guard I have been deployed overseas. which has been very exciting. I have learned many responsibilities. I have also learned leadership skill along with time management skills. Everything about being part of the military is enjoyable.
