why do people join the Military and not expect to deploy or not want too. Deployments have taken me to places I would never have got the chance to go to otherwise.

Indeed...and the opportunity to make real sacrifice for the country.

I am a Patriot I want to join the National Guard, but I don't want to go anywhere and have to prove my patriotism. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

You dont have to prove anything. You go there where they need your skills.

Well, some people don't want to follow that second directive...or only follow when they need your skills at Hickam or something like that.

i currently just switched from Air National Guard to Air Force Reserve. I was Guard for 4 years and switched to Reserve only because my new AFSC only had positions at Duke Air Field.(Special Ops Base in Crestview, FL.) I enjoyed every minute of the guard. The benefits, deployments, and such. There are ways to receive active duty pay in the guard. just gotta know who to ask. I'm a Senior Airman and drill weekends gave me close to 285 after taxes and such. I do network switching and cryptollogic systems(2E231) but initially went in as an Information Analyst.(2R051). I enjoy every aspect of the military and travel is awesome if you can ever catch the volunteer deployments. So far i've been to Aviano Air base(Italy), Osan(Korea), Shaw(South Carolina), Eglin(Florida), Sheppard(Wichita Falls, TX), and Okinawa(Japan). Great stuff man!
