[QUOTE="JetmechF16, post: 12838319, member: 46819"] The Guard has a crap load of different retirement possiblities. You can do the weekend warrior thing and after 20 good years get your pennies/month at age 59 or whatever it is. You can get a Technician slot (Civil Service) and do 20 years of that while still attending UTAs and what not to maintain "good" years, thereby retiring with 2 different incomes at whatever the retirement age is then. Or you can do what I am doing and either get long term Title 10 orders and/or an AGR slot and do your 20 that way. That is the same as 20 years Active Duty. I currently have a mixture: 7 Technician years, 10 DSG (weekend warrior) years, and 7 Active Duty years. I am activated Title 10 and LWOP Technician at the same time right now, extremely confusing as far as retirement is concerned but I have another 13 years to figure it out. Oh and education benefits are awesome in the Guard (depends on state benefits too). I'm almost finished with my Bachelors of Science in Aeronautics using strictly Federal Tuition Assistance since I've been activated for 5 years. I haven't even touched my Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits (100% rate) or my Hazelwood Act (benefit for Texas veterans, 160 free semester hours at any state College/University). Both the Post 9/11 and Hazelwood Act can be transferred to dependents, which is what I'm planning on doing if they aren't taken away first. [/QUOTE]
