Is deployment the same as title 10? Will you receive veteran status if you complete 180 hours of deployment?
In your opinion, are there a lot of full time opportunities within the ANG?
This wasn’t about being a pilot or not at all though?
Best piece of advice every military member has for people looking to become a service member is to do more research, go with the plan that’s best for your life and situation, talk to all the branches/ sign up to get more info via each of their websites to get paired with a recruiter near you, they all have basically the same benefits, they all have different environments and missions, nothing is set in stone unless it’s in writing
8 weeks!? That’s cake. Y’all should join the military and use the benefits during and after getting out of your choose to get out
Hey!! Im not sure if ur going to see this, but my name is Adriana, I live in Ct and I am thinking about joining the air force. I actually have been talking to a recruiter and I am going to an appointment the 22nd of July which is tomorrow. So I was wondering if u think it is a good idea to join at this time, and if u can give me any tips or pointers!!
How did it go ?
Is the basic training for part time guard only 2 weeks or is it 2 months?
Best video I’ve found 🙌🏾 and I’ve been researching for months
Ay, man. I don't know if you still read the comments but just wanted to let you know that this is a great and very informative video. Much appreciated!
A warning to those thinking of signing up for the Air Guard (or Reserves) from a Guard/Reserve veteran....if you don't get presidentially activated or do long term AGR duty you won't have ANY veterans benefits at ALL. ZERO. You won't legally be a veteran without this unless you are service-disabled through the DOD or VA. On top of this, if you do get injured, Guard and Reserve do NOT have Presumption of Soundness or Presumption of Aggravation for VA claims as active duty vets have. There is also a higher standard of documentation required to prove service connection compared to active duty members. To make matters worse, the VA and the DOD will fight you tooth and nail to get service-connected no matter how much in-service medical evidence you have. I actually believe in the Guard/Reserve concept for the security of our country. But until people force Congress to change these horrible and unfair laws for Guard/Reserves by not signing up, it will keep happening. You have been WARNED. -John
How common are presidential orders or availability of these orders to get these benefits? How long do you have to serve active duty orders before the government considered you a veteran? Thanks in advance!
@@TeighanKochOfficial No problem! During the Iraq/Afghanistan War on Terror, it was very common for the Guard and Reserve to get activated. Even just being activated one day qualifies you as an active duty veteran with VA benefits. I served during the Desert Storm/1st Gulf War era, and it was very difficult to get activated/deployed even if you volunteered for it. Now that the War on Terror is over, it's still possible to get activated, but it's much harder now. Regarding AGR, you have to do 24 months and then the VA will consider you a veteran. In my case, I got service-disabled and granted veteran status. But I will tell anyone that they don't want that route as it is a lifetime of suffering and not glamorous at all despite the benefits. I'd give all my benefits up to be healthy and normal again. Getting back to getting veteran status in the Guard/Reserve, I would make 100% sure that the unit you are signing up for has AGR slots open in the MOS you pick before signing the dotted line. In fact, I would ask that unit's commander to guarantee an AGR slot upon enlisting if you meet the requirements. Otherwise, you will serve for 3 years, get out and have ZERO benefits and not be able to legally call yourself a veteran. Yes, 6 years gets you a home loan through the VA, but that is not the same thing as getting VA Health Benefits, VA Hardship Benefits (SSVF Program), Federal and State Hiring Points, VA Health ID showing real veteran status, etc. Most states will also not consider you a veteran unless the VA says you are, so you will also not be able to get veteran benefits through your state as well (check this before signing as well, because some states DO grant benefits and consider you a veteran if you serve in that State's National Guard). Honestly, I would just sign up and serve a 3 year active duty enlistment and THEN join the Guard or Reserve. That way you will be covered as a veteran but also have the ability to serve part time afterwards and never have to worry about chasing down an AGR slot, etc to get veteran status.
@@JohnB-dr8skI'm trying to tell my little cousin all of this. He's considering joining the military, and from what I've heard from all the people in all of the branches, the best route is to enlist once as a full-time soldier into an MOS that has civilian relevant skills, then get out, get your education, and join your local Guard unit if you want to stay in, ideally as an officer through whatever route you want to take to be an officer. This is assuming you're a normal person and not one of the Jocko Willink's of the world. I personally haven't served. I did a year of Air Force ROTC before realizing I valued my civilian career too much to join the Air Force for a full time officer contract that would last four years before I'd even begin getting the professional certification for my civilian career. Now that I've finished up my degree, I'm considering signing up for Air Force OCS to directly commission into my state Air National Guard in the position I would want, now that I have a much better idea of what I want to do with my life than I did at 18. Had I known what I know now, I would have enlisted in the Air National Guard and done that while I got my education.
If im Active Duty Army and im a truck driver, can i transfer to Air National Guard
hey man i’m super interested in joining the ANG, among the 50,000 sign on bonus they’re offering im wonderin if this will help me in my civilian life once im out
Thank you so much for taking the time to fully explain these things. You were very helpful to me!
do you still travel in the air guard?
Great video. I was an EMT for a brief amount of time and have considered join the Air Force for many, many years. But, I am considering it now just not in the medical field. It's to easy to see what other opportunities there are.
I’m in the exact same position rn lol, lmk how it goes for you
I’m considering joining the National Guard over active duty. Sounds like the benefits are better and you have more freedom on top of that especially if you want to start a career whether you want to stay or get out.
I am a GS-9 admin officer at the VA. I would want to keep my job and do the ANG part time. Would you know if the VA will let me keep my job while I’m in basic. And if so how does that process go as far as staying in the VA and serving the basic and AIT time?
Greetings Sir from Fayetteville, NC. My name is Leontii Popov and yes indeed i really enjoyed your discussion of things what to do before joining ANG. Or as known by Air National Guard. I’m 20 years old and I’ll be 21 on April 7th this year. I have few things to ask as questions in this comment section. 1. Where can I find a video of how basic military training looks like for Air National Guard? 2. Is there any positions I can find for air national guard involving in business/logistics? Since I work in a small business veteran logistics company as a lead customer service position for 5 years since September 2019. 3. Another question I have is that the BMT is 8.5 weeks training? Or 7 weeks training? Since one source says 7 weeks of BMT and other source says 8.5 weeks. 4. I’ve also graduated from Jack Britt High School class of 2022 and I’ve attended marching band between 2018-2022 years. And in fall 2021 as a section leader for saxophones during my senior year. In addition to this 4th question; Do they have a great band program?
Would officers rate BAH? If so could you use that for room and board?
I want to be in the office for work and friends and relatives and friends and clans please help me with this issues and I will be grateful 🙏
Great info.
Excellent video, seems very conscientious, answered some questions I had and some I hadn't thought of, mentioned some negatives but in a no nonsense objective way
I don’t quite understand what you mean by if people are unfamiliar with the Air National guard that recruiters will have to fight harder for recruits to get accepted into the Air national guard? This is something that happened to me recruiter dropped the ball on me and I wanted to get into Air National Guard but when I switched over to Active duty I found that my recruiter was really working with me seems kinda sad that Air national guard caters more towards individuals who have Bloodline versus those who don’t have that Bloodline or whatever
I never said that?
Were you ever deployed?
No
How often do you get deployed and for how long?
do you get to be home as a air national guard ??
because i'm scared i'll never get to see my family again.
hopefully i get a reply im young and in highschool and honestly scared but i know i wanna do it
Yes. I take about that in the video.
I hate that you're out of the ANG. When I joined, I watched your videos and it gave me a multitude of information. I'm two years and a half years in and loving it so far.
Im considering it too, have you deployed at all yet? If so for how long?
@@justinberrezueta9027 Have only went on TDY for a month. I've volunteered for multiple deployments, but haven't had any luck. Deployments are usually six months.
Haha thank you! I’m sad too but on too some awesome opportunities! Feel free to hmu on social media to update me.
HEY. BROTHER MAN. I SAY. GO TO. COMMUNITY COLLEGE. FIRST. THEN. GO. MILITARY. FASFA FORMS. PAYS. COMMUNITY. COLLEGE. FINANCIAL. MONEY. YEAH
Do they put you at the closest base for drill? Or is it anywhere in PA for drill?
It is where you enlist
I'm trying to go ANG then commission once I get my bachelors degree. How was the process of commissioning and going AD? There's really not much info so hopefully you'll see this comment! TIA
If you want to ultimately commission and go active, I’d wait to do that, but it is certainly possible to do within the ANG. Will be harder.
hey man will I have to do any on the job training if i am planning on going to college after bmt & tech school?
Yes
I was wondering I the Air National Guard do you ship out to BMT from Meps or go directly from home to the Airport?
You do not ship out from Meps. It’s actually a lengthy process to get basic training dates unless you’re flexible about when you can go.
I was curious about pursuing the officer route after college and how to handle that?
First step would be contacting your local Air Force recruiter.
@@aveontaefrazier thank you I’ll look into that once I return to town for school (got 1 year to go of college)
@@phxmaster9684 good luck!
What if I work as a nurse in a hospital and looking to join the guards? What should I tell my superiors? Thank you
Well it shouldn’t be a problem. Are you afraid it will be an issue?
@@aveontaefrazier well Im only a foreigner whos looking to pass NCLEX then make it to the US then by Greencard enlist in the Army but Im thinking about how will my superiors react to that
Do you still get access to medical benefits even after the air guard?
No you don’t. Unless you retire (20yrs) or have a service connected disability.
Thank you for making this video, lots of good info. always nice getting an inside opinion on things as well.
Great job son! You can also help a lot of people transitioning out of the military by sharing your journey. The military can easily become someone identify so it’s important for people to see what life looks like after they are done serving! So proud of you❤️
Questions. 1. FOMO on family. Although ANG is part time with more civilian lifestyles, do you recommend it for someone with children? Would non combat mos still have occurring deployments? Or long deployments My fear is missing out on my children while their young due to random long deployments. 2. Calling home is a privilege in the guard, but how often are you able to call home during deployments if any? 3. How often are deployments? Both state and federal and worldwide? 4. Is six years the minimum on contracts or is there a smaller contract available?
I don’t see you being a parent as a barrier, there are plenty of individuals who join in that situation. There is a part of the video where I talk about deployment cycles so I’d suggest taking a look there cause that answers 3 and another that addresses 4 (no shorter initial contract than 6). If you are deployed you will be able to reach out as much as you want with your personal time.
Bro, real question. I’m 25. Idc about the physical training… I don’t mind working my ass off physical or academically. I just have a full time job. I just wanna be some nobody that gets to ride on planes all the time … I just don’t wanna be in a “college”
What’s the question?
@@aveontaefrazier I’ve heard theirs constant studying as a part of being in he air guard ? Is that true ? I’m not really looking to be in a college like setting.
Can you use tuition waiver and the GI bill? Like use them both or is it either or ?
Yes
Can you do Air National Guard full time like active duty?
Yes it’s called AGR.
Hey guys! I still get plenty of people reaching and and I appreciate it. Due to multiple request I’d love to make another video so let me know what you guys are curious about and I’ll do my best.
Can you make a video on how college tuition assistance work such as the requirements to be eligible
Hey bro! Just had a couple of questions whenever you have the time to respond. 1. If I’m joining the Air National Guard, and want to go back to college, does my degree have to be something related to my job in the ANG? For ex: I want to do Medical Material in the ANG, but I’ve also been interested in pursuing a degree with something to do in sports as a side thing to further create more opportunities, would i be able to do that? 2. After boot camp, when you show up for drills, do you HAVE to keep your head shaved since you’re part time only for the military? I’ve been getting mixed responses on that. 3. If I plan on doing ANG, then college, while also a part time regular job on the side, do you think that would be possible if I were to manage my time correctly? 4. Can I go to an Air Force recruiter for more info? Or do I have to go to an Air National Guard recruiter for more info? And great video man, I learned a lot and am definitely going to the air National guard so that I can do other things on the side
Hey man I’ll have to be a little brief but you can always follow up on my social media accounts. 1. Degree doesn’t matter, do what you’re interested in. 2. No lol but you have to have a fade around the ears and the top has to be within two inches
3. You can do it I believe in you! Plenty of people do/did myself included. 4. You have to talk to an ANG recruiter about the guard AD recruiters usually have no clue how it works.
Thank you for the kind words! I plan on making a video eventually since I still get request.
@@aveontaefrazier thanks man for replying! Will definitely keep on watch, and I subscribed, keep it up bro!
Do They cover on campus housing or offer housing allowance like the Air Force?
Joint the real Air Force or the real army my friends u are better off !
Do you think it’s good to join the Air Guard and after go to law school? Or would just commissioning be better? I’m 25 and looking to join the Air Force but debating which way to go. I’d like to be in the Jag Corp but I know guard would help. Any thoughts are welcome!
I think you can definitely do both and the benefits of joining the guard while going to school is you can use the tuition wavier
@@aveontaefrazier thank you for answering! That sounds like a good benefit .. Are you able to commission while in the guard? Is it true you have to ask your unit or so for permission?
Just saw this video and I think you did a great job. I joined the Louisiana Air National Guard in 1995 as an E1 and now I'm an O5. I come from the ghetto of uptown New Orleans. Among other great things and traveling the world, Ive been able to obtain an Associates, Bachelors and two Masters degrees through the Air Guard.. If I can do it, ANYONE can. Thank you for your service and again, great job!
Thank you for your service! I appreciate your kind words:)
@@aveontaefrazier Thank you as well and Happy Holidays to you and your family! 😊
I live in Louisiana as well and thinking abt joining air Guard my senior year of high school. I’m stuck between Active and guard. I want to experience a active duty military life style but I also want to go to college full time as I want to be a PA in sports medicine orthopedics sooo Idk rn. At the moment I’m leaning to guard cause I can live out both drea
@@dylan5597 That's what I did- I went Air Guard since I wanted to go to school full-time. I was able to get a 19 year law enforcement career in there as well. Just letting you know, it wasn't easy, but I did it. The Air National Guard was and is the best thing that ever happened to me AND my family. My kids are STILL benefiting from my service as they go to college.
Sir, how did you commission?
I plan on joining the national guard when I’m either 19 or 20
Idk if you will answer but how do jobs works when you finally get out of the military do you have a job you can use in civilian life what if I go in and get a job that won't help me in civilian life
Thank you, very informative!
If i score low on the ASVAB will I still be able to get the job I want. I want a electrician job
