I am prepared to join the Air Reserves or Air National Guard, however, I've read that a lot of Reservists/Guardsmen who apply for civilian jobs never get a call back from prospective employers because of their Military Commitment despite having all the qualifications and skills necessary for the job. While they say it's only one weekend a month two weeks a year that is _always_ not the case. Employers know that and would rather hire someone that can be fully reliable and commit to their civilian job. I know there is the USERRA Act but that doesn't bar employers from not contacting you. They can nit-pick parts of your resume or come up with other things and use that as a reason. It even came to a point where a Reservist didn't disclose his Military Service so he can get a call back...and he did (after applying to countless jobs disclosing he's a Reservist). Yes, some people would then say, "Then you shouldn't apply for that job if the employer doesn't support your military service" or "Just go Active Duty" But what if you have no choice? I brought this up because I wanted to get some thoughts on this. I apologize and know this is out of topic of the uploaded video. Thanks.
Cool, some facts I didn't know. After my 6 yrs ANG, it took a while to be hired as a civ policeman in Chicago area, I never thought of staying in ANG. Although after BMT/Tech School, I immediately went full time into a state university for double BA in 3 yrs (after AP & CCAF credits were applied). I should have thought more long term for Guard benefits, but didn't. Too late now, fed Gov't declared me disabled, so that's that. The major benefits were free tuition for BA, cool TDYs, travel, in-svs training out of state & Hon. Disch w/Vet benefits, despite only 6 yrs+2 yrs IRR, etc.
@@ik5852 jokes on me, I had to re enlist 🥲😂 I literally had all my stuff done, had my job ready and everything, then my husband didn’t get the job he was trying for & we can’t afford me being AGR so gotta do another 4 more years 😭
Definitely you get Tricare at age 60. Can also use United Health Care, which I didn't use since in my area the Drs are not part. After 65 yo, your Tricare converts to Tricare for life and medicare starts, unless you take early option. Tricare pays your medications, of most medications at $10 for 3 months. Between Tricare for life and Medicare, pays all /medical bills. Have recently been diagnosed with a neuro diease-- dysautonomia and Multi System Atrophy. No cures, no meds, no treatments for either .
@@LauderdaleJoeM I never did, back in the day this female was into weights/strength training and running. Different time today. I couldn't do it now at almost 70 and disabled. Txs for being part of the 1 percenters---
I’m currently on 3rd deployment, but once i get home i go straight into terminal leave. Do you recommend palace front? I am stationed in east coast trying to get back to Portland OR ANG.
If I wanted to switch afscs (I am currently 2w1 and want to go into 4n0) do I apply for the afsc I want to go into first or have to actually be accepted for the palace chase?
@@herkload I’ve met A LOT of cool people I’m stationed in New Jersey I got deployed within 6 months of being at the base to Qatar the deployment leadership could’ve been better but overall the experience was nice other than that the Air Force isn’t that bad….it would be nice if we we’re making more money tho😂😂

I got less than 9 months in AD and I heard a lot of what you just mentioned on here. That's my concern about going to NG or reserves.
Get the job first and then go for ANG or reserve
*NA I’M DOING 20* -Every trainee ever
YEP. hahaha

I love Air Guard.
You ever deploy over seas?
How hard is finding a spot for Active Guard positions?
How about ANG or reserves to AD. From old retired veteran 72-97.
I'd probably have PT issues with this transition.

Do you have to go through active duty to get into air national guard?
No, BMT and tech school are required but then you’ll do your one weekend a month after that
Would I be able to retire in the gaurd
I’m currently on 3rd deployment, but once i get home i go straight into terminal leave. Do you recommend palace front? I am stationed in east coast trying to get back to Portland OR ANG.
I have about 15 months left until I’ve completed half of my contract, how early can i start the process to get things going?
Curious how about the other way around I am currently going into ANG and curious how to go from ANG to Active duty just a curiosity
need to be linguist or special warfare to make the switch
How long to get 100% of GI bill? I know they get some but is it 100%?
If I wanted to switch afscs (I am currently 2w1 and want to go into 4n0) do I apply for the afsc I want to go into first or have to actually be accepted for the palace chase?
Palace chasing require going to tech school again?
Man I’m sooo ready to leave…August 10th can’t get here soon enough😩
Is it really that bad in the AF? If you don't mind, what are the issues?
@@DixieBanjo I ship out to bmt August 10th I’m going active duty…I don’t know much about air national guard at all🤷🏾♂️
@@shabeezyboi7871 so, how’s the AF treating you?
