Speak to your chain of command about the Inactive National Guard (ING). This coding status means that you do not attend drill (or draw pay or benefits) for a period of time.
Please note:
- Any service obligation you have is frozen (i.e., if you signed for two years, that two years will be waiting for you when you come back home).
- You can't draw a bonus while in the ING.
- You are not eligible for promotion while in the ING.
- You are still subject to mobilization. If you have a stabilization contract, then you need to ask how ING status affects it.
