What is a good reason for me to join the Guard after getting off Active Duty?
Joining the National Guard after your Active Duty service is a great way to continue serving your country in a part-time status. National Guard Soldiers get good pay (the equivalent of four days of Active Duty for a weekend spent drilling) and great benefits, and continue building toward a military retirement. So no matter what your goals are for “life after Active Duty,” you can achieve them in the National Guard.
