Thanks for serving your country! :cheers:

It's just the guard. Of course, if he'd gone Coast Guard, then it'dve been REAL easy. Orthogonally, there's nothing like Marine Corps boot camp and rifle drill. Snap an pop, snap an pop.

Basic Training is exactly the same for the regular Army, the Army National Guard and the Reserves. I know this because I've done it (for the NH Guard) and we were not separated.

NH National Guard. Been in since Dec '07, ETS (when I'm done) Dec '13.
Our unit is vertical engineering which is carpentry/masonry, electricians and plumbers.
I'm an electrician which I'm sure will help me down the road when I hit E-5 or E-6 and have to become a 21H aka Construction Engineering Supervisor at which time I'll have to do AIT for the carpentry/masonry and plumbing which will be super easy comparatively.
And to Knave:
I guess I'll have to salute you pretty soon...
Congratulations on your decision and thank you for your commitment to your state and country!
