Did 2 years active duty Army, 8 years in the Army National Guard, and will be swearing into the Air Guard in a week to finish my 10 years! 🎉
Should I post an updated video reflecting on my time in service now that I am out? Let me know and I'll make a video of what I've learned!
*Hey everyone! In part of a series that covers my time in the military, I thought i'd share one of these videos I just made reflecting on what I actually learned from serving in the military, 6 years after joining. *

Thanks everyone! ✌
Join the Air Guard simple they will treat you like a human being
True but if you're like me and needed more discipline prior to joining you may want to consider army. Also if you want to shoot things and drive things Army might be a little more fulfilling. Both are great though..
Great video. Thanks for your work here and thanks for your service
Thank you for the support!
@@KnuteFosso my daughter is entering senior year as Class President and Captain of Volleyball. She was on the fence about committing to military service with many cousins and one of her brothers in service now. However I think Top Gun:Maverick kinda pushed her over the edge. Only US Amry/Reserve, National Guard and Air Guard really make sense for her.
This video is perfect for where her head is at because it's 100% her commitment.
I’m at my AIT right now and this just inspired me. Thank you.
How is it?
I’m from WA too!!
Awesome video I’m 27 and like you said I’m more mature already so I’m doing ANG
You got this!
How long did it take you to switch over to the Air National Guard? Are their weekend drills as many as the Army National Guard or less? Currently Im Infantry in the Army NG their drills are 4-5 days every 23 days on average
Getting in touch with an air guard recruiter in my area is annoying. Was easy with the Army.
It’s funny you say that because I’m about ready to give up on trying to join Air Force and just go with the Army 😅 (my brother had the same issue and ended up becoming a Marine instead)
Hey other than the letter for approved conditional release what documents or DD forms thats needed to make the tranfer?
And transition to air NG fine without making it a full time thing?
Are there different standards/requirements (for like the ASVAP, programs, etc.) between the army and air NG? I want to try to get into the medical field and train in medical because that goes more towards my preferred career and I would like to know if there are any differences in the medical field between the army and air NG
Great question! There most likely will be some differences in the standards, since they are completely different branches. Although both components include the words "National" and "Guard" you'll often see they're actually very different in terms of enlistment, training, and mission focus.
I’m new to this whole idea but I was raised right around Scott AFB. I live like 5 minutes from there. But say I joined ANG, would I be able to smoothly transition into Active Duty later? How would that work?
Is it possible to switch if you've only been in the army national guard for under a year? Like before even going for basic training?
I’m currently in the same position 3 years in the army and I wanted to switch over to air national guard reserves but was hesitant on what goes into it my job is supply would I be in an airplane by any sort ??
I’m looking to join the guard for college tuition but also feel it will be a good experience. For someone who’s main goal is to start their college job after the guard and get out, what would you say is the better option? Also which one tends to be the more active one as in getting called to the job outside of the regular weekends, or do you volunteer to go on more?
Really would depend on the unit, but If I had to predict one I would say the Army Guard probably gets activated a little more, and can be a little less flexible for training. However, I miss my army days the further I get away from them, nothing like going to the range or rolling in a Stryker down the highway waving to kids!
What state do you live in?
Have you ever been deployed in either service and if so how long were you deployed and what was it like?
I haven’t been deployed yet. 🙂
I was looking into joining the army guard but all my friends in the air guard said to join the air guard instead, so im a little torn on what to do, I wanted to do wheeled vehicle mechani, any advice?
U ever make a decision?
Which one would you say is better if you are focused more on the college route getting the job you studied for my preference computer science
Both have great computer science programs I believe, although from what I know the Air Force is dominant in that field
Great video! I am currently in the Army National Guard. After doing 6 years, I have 1 year and some months left on my contract-- and considering joining the Air National Guard. Is there a specific reason I would need to present to my Readiness NCO and Commander why I want a Condition of Release? Wouldn't it have to be for a good reason?
Yes! Say you are seeking a full time career opportunity and that AFSC will help you pursue it
Hey I’m from Washington and debating to go army or air national guard. How was the process from switching to Air Force from army?
Hi Teresita! Sorry for the late response. Glad to see you are making the decision to join! It's a tough choice. Personally, I feel I had more fun in the army but really each to their own. I love the ANG in many ways too.
Switching to the ANG from Army wasn't super easy, has to be approved by the TAG. You'll need to have a good reason for it, not that you just want to if you are cutting your initial enlistment short.
In my situation, I had a full time AGR job offer from the ANG but required me to enlist into the ANG. Since the army was only offering PT work for my career, they felt the request was reasonable.
Just the video I was looking for! But I have a question … I already have a good paying citizen job, but I’m interested in joining the guard because I do want to serve as well as helping during disasters.
Currently, I’d be interested in being pilot or even a paratrooper, but I wouldn’t mind also learning some tech-skills (I already work in IT but learning some more wouldn’t hurt lol). But I’m worried if I join the Air National Guard, I’ll just have another office job :/ .
Not sure if Army NG has more in-field action as opposed to Air NG. Based on my interests, what would you recommend ? Thanks !
If you don’t want an office job, go Army NG for sure.
@@KnuteFosso Thank you :)
@@Gio-m your welcome! And you might be mad at me for recommending it when your dealing with the “suck” in the Army. But it made me tougher, more disciplined, and I have some of my best memories in those dies. Flying in several helicopters, riding in strykers down the freeway, shorting grenade launchers and machine guns, makes all the BS worth it. Optimizing for only benefits? Go AF. Optimizing for fun and experiences? Go Army.
@@Gio-m also make sure to check with your recruiter about your unit. See if you can ask anyone in the unit what it’s like or get in contact with them. Really depends on the unit what you will be doing!! I was a 25B but did lots of other stuff besides computers. When I was, it was in the field.
@@KnuteFosso Haha ngl I might be thinking about your rec in those moments 😂 . Those experiences sound amazing! I really look forward more to the experiences atm but of course career progression is always something to strongly consider. I just really want to make sure that when something hits the fan in my state, I want to be there . For instance with what’s going on in Puerto Rico, I want to be on the ground or in the air helping people (that’s not my state, but I wonder if it’s possible to volunteer to units outside your state). Not sure if I’m being naive lol but that’s my biggest reason for wanting to join.
Thanks for the info on asking about what my potential unit’s responsibilities would be. Could you ask those questions before signing up?
I’m not sure which one to join, I’m planning on doing the guard and going to trade school for dental hygienist on the side. What do you prefer.
Would they pay for my trade school?
I think you can’t really go wrong by enlisting for a trade. Hindsight 2020 going for my trade in the army was the best decision of my life and I still have 0 debt to this day which helps me tremendously for pursuing my business ventures. You’ll make the base pay for your rank while you are at training. Of course meals and stuff are included.
Im looking to join NG for college tuition but also want to become an commercial pilot so i dont know if i should go towards the air force or army because i know that you guys have a flight program. I plan to go to college for my bachelors
Both branches fly but I believe army is primarily rotary wing
Army and Air NG has the same benefits?
Great question!
Some enlistments may come with slightly differenet contracts. There's always a possibility of variation there. However, usually most benefits are state-ran or federal TA which means they usually are the same. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have! :)
Most benefits are the same.
Have u been to Tech School
Negative! Was not required for me since I transferred and had the necessary experience in my career field.
I did go to AIT in the army. Definitely a bit different from tech school! Air Force peeps get much more freedom than we did. 😄
So did you take an AGR position??? Full time in the Air National Guard? Thanks
yup!
@@KnuteFosso I’m an infantryman getting ready for deployment but after this contract I was thinking about transferring to Air NG and trying to be JTAC or CCT do they have the same MOS’s as regular Air Force?
@@jordanjaneiro354 Yeah man, but you might have a tough time depending on the state finding one of those AFSC's.
@@blitzymedia2601 I’m in Florida close to Tampa I know there’s 20th SF Group here might be able to get attached to them. I don’t know anything about the Air NG but I’m gonna start researching
@@jordanjaneiro354 ANG jobs are based on the states mission statements
