Final ten in national guard?

Not sure about the change over, but i know a lot of people do it. My husband is gaurd. It allows for stability. Depending on they drill 3 days to 2 weeks ago month. They do still deploy. I'm not sure how different it is, but imo I think it's more stable.

They are still eligible for tricare, education benifits, retirement after 20 or 25 with full benefits.

My husband is army/Ng and they have drill every month when not deployed. There usually is XCTC when goes on about a month over the summer. Deploys about 4-5 years rotation. My husband is infantry but does AGR when he’s home.

sending you a message!

My husband is AGR and we live around a lot of air force people and it makes me grateful he chose the route he did 😅
Though he can be transferred at any time, we have to stay in our state. So it provides a lot of (semi) stability. As stable as you can get in the military 😅
There’s no base housing for us, which we wouldn’t do anyway— but we have tricare prime and it honestly is the reason he stays in bc me and my kids don’t have to have to pay anything for doctor visits and can see off base medical care providers and unlimited urgent care visits
So honestly I think it’s a great move for facilities 😅

My husband loves the guard. You have more freedom in where you live. He says, "it's a great way to finish out your last 10 years so you can at least get some of your benefits." - (when I asked him specifically about your post).

My wife is NG and been in for 14years. But she was ADOS FOR 3years and now AGR. When she wasn’t on orders just drill every month 1 weekend and activation for natural disasters or anything big, and a 2-3week drill in the field one month. She has not deployed since 2013 (I believe it was, before we got together) she takes a lot of classes and has 3 MOS. You don’t move with NG so the stability is there. You have to do the full time as active for retirement, so he needs to get his years to get retirement benefits then go NG. My wife has like 7years worth of “active” time toward retirement of her 14 from deployment, orders, and activations. So he won’t get the retirement if he only does 10active unless he got NG and gets on orders consistently or AGR.(which at that point may as well stay active if wanting the retirement). We get to use civilian doctors, and not have to worry about going to base or being restricted to just base medical. Which is great honestly!

so if he did the last ten in guard he wouldn’t get full benefits?

if he wants to get regular retirement benefits he would have to do way more than 10yrs lol. He could also try to get on some type of state orders or apply for an AGR position which would give him the active time yet he'd get to stay in his stay and have more freedom
