Are there opportunities for active duty veterans with the National Guard or Reserve?
Once certain thresholds have been met (with regard to age, years of service, etc.) Soldiers usually are not eligible for reentry to service, however, there are other ways that many veterans continue to serve. Most states have a volunteer force of veterans, often referred to as a “defense force”, “volunteer force” or state “militia” who serve in a variety of roles within the respective states. More information can be obtained by contacting state or territorial headquarters.
