What are the National Guard ranks in order?
I was Active Duty Army but the Ranks are the same for National Guard as they are for the Army.. These Enlisted Ranks E1 - E9 are for soldiers who normally joing out of high school and have no college degree.. Sometimes if your smart, in shape, and study basic army literature you can join as an E-3 Private first class like I did.. And then make the rank E-4 automatically after 2 years.The officer Ranks are for people who have a college degree and go through Officer Candidate School.Warrant officers are mainly Pilots. With or without college, you can transfer from enlisted or officer to warrant officer an become a pilot. These ranks are cool because Aviation is a bit more relaxed than other units, and these guys really don’t take orders from anyone. ( well kinda )I was a Sergeant. Active Duty Army E-5..

Can you be a ranger in the national guard?
Is it possible, to join the national guard, go to RASP/airborne/basic etc and become assigned to a unit, and then go to school having the guard pay for it, and then attempt to go active duty after a 4 year schooling assuming you weren't called to war? Just wondering how the order works because that's what I want to do, sign up--->become trained-------->(not active duty so i don't go anywhere right?)school-------->active duty with degree/not active duty with degree? Thanks, if you could provide the order of how it really works and any other useful tips, thanks.
Can air national guard members on title 10 orders qualify for below the zone?
Laura, the answer to your questions is "technically" - but WHY ? if you are on active duty orders, technically YES, you can go for BTZ and get promoted to Senior Airman. for those not familiar with BTZ, this is where A1C's can go before a board (BTZ) and if selected, can sew the SrA stipr on 6 months early. essentially is is an early boost in pay. now i asked WHY for a reason. As i understand it, the national guard can promote everyone to E5 (Staff Sergeant) WITHOUT a manning documement - meaning everyone that has sufficient time in grade, time in service can be promoted to E5 - no exam, no WAPS test, and they don't have to have a 'staff stripe' available. so the guard can promote you to E4 without having to go through BTZ. are you asking if you can get promoted 6 months earlier than the guard would promote you if you are on orders? yes, if you are on orders. are you downrange? it gets a little tricky for guard members down range. the basic answer, yes, as long as you are in an active duty status, you are eligible to be considered for BTZ. will you get it though? it depends. there are a LOT of politics involved with boards like that and quite often those politics outweigh someone who may be better qualified. I sent one of my airman for the BTZ board, and this kid was SHARP. from top to bottom, he was an outstanding airman, college, volunteered, everything. his competition included a very laze female troop that happened to be a minority that was well-known for playing the race card to influence decision makers. wanna guess who got the promotion? yep. games like that exist
Retirement Pay from The Air National Guard?
A Reservist/Guardsman MUST earn a minimum of 63 points a year to make a "credible retirement year". You earn 2 points for every day of drill (4 points for a Sat/Sun drill) and 1 point for each day of Annual Training (or any other active duty period). After 20 years of credible service (or 16 more years in your case with the 4 years of prior service) you are eligible for a Reserve Retirement (non regular retirement). 1 year of active duty = 365 retirement points. here is a good reserve retirement calculator: https://staynavytools.bol.navy.mil/RetCalc/Default.aspx Keep in mind you don;t start drawing a reserve pension until age 60 which is why you see so many old Reservist and Guardsmen. A lot of them will stay until age 60 (many with 40+ years of service) in order to collect more retirement points and a bigger pension, as well as continued pay and benefits along the way. So..lets say you stayed in 20 total years and retired at age 38 from the Guard and never did anyomre active duty (deployment, etc) the next 16 years and retired as an E-7 you will make about $ 1,912.00 per month starting at age 60.
Deployments in the national guard?
Can you volunteer in the national guard for as many assignments as you want or is pretty difficult to get assignments you choose? Can easily be deployed if I want to or does the United States have to be in an active war? Can I ask to be deployed to Hawaii for extra training and so forth or only to active war zones?
Does a Navy sailor have to obey the Coast Guard?
Depends on the scenario and chain of command.Rank is maintained between all forces of nation’s military; An Army E-1 is outranked by a Marine Corps E-2 is outranked by an Air Force E-3 is outranked by a Navy E-4 is outranked by a Coast Guard E-5, et cetera. Even with allied militaries there is some degree of, “being reasonable,” when it comes to requests.I’m a Petty Officer First Class (E-6) in the Navy. If a Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer (E-7) tells me to do something within my power and time constraints (“Hey, find me a kimwipe so I can wipe up my spilled coffee,”) Yeah, sure, I’ll do that. If the ask something of me that is unreasonable and/or they have their own guys for, (“Hey, find me the NIIN for a coffee cup and order me a new one.”) I’m going to find a polite way to tell him to suck an egg and do it himself (or impolite if he isn’t polite to me (Yes, I’ll impolite as hell to any Chief or JO that makes ridiculous demands of me that I shouldn’t be expected to follow.)).That says nothing of chain-of-command.If someone in your chain of command tells you to do something, you do it, because it’s your job. Obviously there are still rules regarding whether or not you’re qualified to do the thing or if it is still a “reasonable” request (I can’t tell you to flap your arms until you start flying, but I can tell you that you need to find a way to clean up a giant poop-and-piss puddle from a secured head (a bathroom closed down for maintenance on the ship’s sewage system) that some disrespectful airdales broke into because they were too lazy to walk to the proper heads, and then the CHT system had a pressure surge that blew the stagnant water all over the deck. >.> (If you’re out there, I hate you lazy a-holes.)While uncommon (except for Navy Corpsmen and other outlier jobs), sometimes people do work for a while with other branches - at which point their bosses are obviously members of that branch.
