I remember seeing somewhere on the forum that these units train significantly more often than AD units, and rightfully so. The consistent training is welcomed because obviously I want to stay sharp and on my game. My question is will I be able to carry on my day to day job? I'm looking at moving to the Nashville or Lexington area to be a Fire Fighter/EMT, but I am seriously considering enlisting in the ANG as a PJ or CCT out of the 123rd STS. I understand that the only way I can really get that answer is to speak to someone directly, but what is everyone's experiences in the Guard or Reserves? After graduating and reporting to your unit, will you be able to hold a job such as police/fire fighter/paramedic/life flight etc..or would it be smarter to go active duty(from a financial stability standpoint) or Active-Guard? I only ask because I am a little older, soon to be married and wanting to work Fire/Rescue in my community as well as serve in the military. I am simply weighing my options and trying to educate myself to make the best decision for my future family.
