[Untamed]

Remember that NG units have been rotating in and out of Iraq, so you aren't immune from overseas deployment. Secondly, in any natural disaster, you are called to fill sandbags, rescue stupidity from rising rivers, rebuild washed out roads, and patrol streets for looters - regardless of your MOS. So you may learn a little something in AIT, but all NG units are expected to serve in the same capacity as laborers and community patrol whenever called.

Depending on what you want to get out of the military, I would suggest either 3 years active duty or go Reserves where you will get deployed anyway, but still be allowed to do your job instead of fill sandbags.
