Hey guys, I'm thinking about joining the Air National Guard, part time military, full time civilian, that way I could reap the military benefits and get the premium credit cards waived. And still be able to have my own life rather than going straight to the Navy, Airforce, etc. And because I want to get the USAA account too and other stuff.
Only thing I'm worried about is the basic training but after the 8 weeks, I never have to worry about it again, maybe for the rest of my life. Those premium credit cards could save me thousands a year and could also get thousands in travel tickets for free lol. ldk, it just makes sense for me, to join.
Although I might be misreading your post, you want to join the National Gaurd for "credit card benefits"? Not trying to be snarky or disrespectful, but if that's your primary reason to serve, I'd reconsider your priorities.
We have some part time and full time guard people at work. They do the same things their regular AF counterparts do so it could open up doors to a new career as well. One of my best friends is National Guard and she is a Lt. Col. She gets military benefits like health too.
Do Guard members get the insurance for life thing like full time branch members do? Thats another bonus depending upon your current field of employment, and the potential pullback from the ACA.

I believe if they retire from the guard they do.
