I am potentially enlisting into the Mississippi National Guard (Doing it for the college benefits) and was wondering if anybody was in the guard in here and if they have any advice for me? Thanks guys

Go Air Guard. After being in the Army and seeing how the Air Force had it made, I realized that I had made the wrong decision.

The guard is a great thing to do. I was active duty but many of my friends were guardsmen. You can also make a lot of valuable connections in your state in the guard.

have you thought about the ROTC Simultaneous Membership Program?

Be prepared to be called a nasty girl at basic training and throughout your military career by your active duty peers.

any advice for me
I was in the Louisiana - 812th Medical Detachment and Alabama Guard - 1/131st Combat Assault BN, both are Army National Guard Units.
Good experience, it important you understand how to make each year you are in the Guard a "Good Year" for retirement, if that is a consideration of a long term goal.
Living and working conditions are always more comfortable in the Air Force. Promotions are slower

The Air National Guard is the way to go. I spent 6 years in the Army National Guard and it was a miserable experience.
