If you join the national guard full time how will you be able to go to school? Can you join the national guard full time and go to school full time? Or do you join part time and go to school full time? I was just wondering how this all works.

The National guard is actualy " Part Time" Traditional national guard soldiers serve just one weekend a month and 2 weeks usualy during the summer. So its a total of 39 days a year required. This allows you to go to college full time or have a civilian job full time. Now if you want there is a "active" part of national guard which you basicaly are on active duty for the guard in your state or you can even go outside the state. That is volunteered by you you are not required to do active time unless you are mobilized by your govenor
