The chances of you being deployed to iraq or, more likely, Afghanistan at some point during your time are very very high. Just count on going at some point.

After that you you will be required to conduct training (Drills) 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks of Annual Training (AT) per year for 6 years (followed by 2 years in the IRR with no drill commitment for a total of 8 years). The rest of the time you hold a job or go to college like every other civilian. Your chances of getting deployed AT LEAST once in the 8 years is almost 100%.<br><b>References : </b><br> Like all Guardsmen and reservist you will be required to complete initial entry training (Basic and AIT) which will last generally 14-20 weeks (or more for some MOSs).
