Thanks... thats what I meant. You can go AD but thats going to be time consuming. I was a Reservist and as far as I was concerned those conversations were academic more than anything else. At that time getting a release to go AD wasnt something that was encouraged and frankly the recruiters brushed off the NG and Reservists. There was a Mormon from the Utah Guard who spoke and wrote Chinese (I believe it was Cantonese) like nobodies business and he attracted the attention of a Great Skills program Recruiter but the first question out of his mouth was what his duty status was. As soon as he said UT NG the recruiter got a look on his face and continued answering others questions. Im guessing things are different now we werent at war then. At that time (maybe 2 weeks or so before graduation) recruiters would show up ask for a show of hands and before the FTX guys would have new orders and walk around on cloud nine until their flight left. We had a few guys take advantage of the Ranger recruiters offer to go to RIP and all they got out of it was Airborne wings and orders to the 82nd. They were totally unprepared physically. My understanding is that the Ranger RGT does things a little differently now for their MI guys.
