I probably shouldn't post here, since I'm neither a Ranger, or a member of the US National Guard, but after reading this thread I just had to post.
I have experienced the same kind of problems mentioned here, in my unit of the Danish NG (Hjemmeværnet). I had (probably naively) assumed that it was just my unit, but it seems that laziness, bad turn out, and poor training are universal.
Pretty depressing, huh?

And when I had opened the fourth beer, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and her that sat on him was the wife, and Hell followed with her......

I forgot to mention that after recovering from an open-book pelvic fracture and bladder rupture from a parachuting accident in Regiment, I was one out of 3 (out of my entire unit!) who could max a PT test in the Guard. I volunteered for the AF's version of SWAT known as EST so that I could get a little bit of range time, but they weren't even allowed to use simunitions due to safety concerns (but that's a different story)!Clownpuncher wrote:My experience with the guard:
I decided to do the "try one" program after I got out of Regt. I reclassed as a 91W from 11B (I'm trying to get into medical school). After a year of volunteering to cut grass on the weekends, because I could not stand the boredom we were activated to support Operation Enduring Freedom. This was after our two-week annual training that consisted of only SRP. Finally something to do! I find out our mission is to guard an air force base in San Antonio, TX (after SRPing again for two weeks). So I am in Fort Hood prepping for the mission and our senior leadership decides it is time to march us to chow while singing cadence every morning because "that is how the active army does it (their only experience of active duty was basic/AIT)." My CO and 1SG could not pass a PT test so they decided to test each other and somehow magically passed. For promotions you must change your MOS multiple time becoming a Jack ass of all trades. FAT People all around me were promoted unconditionally. Meanwhile I finally get sent to 91W school and they wanted me to reenlist for it like it was fuckin scuba or HALO school.
....Waved traffic in at an air force base and laughed as officers would bitch about why traffic was so slow and their bitching about not saluting a stupid blue sticker because they don't know that when the sun is in your eyes you cant' tell blue from red from yellow...Motherfuckers! Alright this is pissing me off....In short my guard experience SUCKED! My unit sucked and if we were sent overseas I could only envision me combat rolling out of 5-ton while they get captured (like the scene from Stripes).
In my opinion if you are former 75th, and absolutely want to go Guard, maybe try an SF or LRS Guard unit.

This is my thinking. Fuck OCS ask for the next unit getting deployed and join. Now is a great time for Rangers to see if they can "past the test".
Dont waste time in any fucking school. Get your ass overthere NOW and go to school later, you can take that year and1/2 and do it AFTER wards.
This is funny, when I decided to into the Guard, the fucking lieing recruiter, told me that CA SF guys dont do much and if I joined a Infrantry unit, there was a chance I could get stuck stateside guarding an Active Duty post somewere.
He talked me into an 88M MOS (YES TRUCK DRIVER, FUCK YOU) He told me that there was an 100% chance of being deployed and I took it.
It worked out, We had over 3 million miles in Iraq, saw the hole fucking country and got blowen up, shot at countless times (50-75 Co count) My truck was only hit 3 time.
Plus I got to do Guntruck Missions.
What ever you do I wish you the best and may you always see the enemy first and always come up center mass!!!
