I just joined the Army National Guards, for a 6 active, 2 inactive term. I am also in college and in the process of being contrated with ROTC. I will be comissioned in 3 years. After I get comissioned I want to go in the Army full time (active). For 4 years. So how will this work out? Will the 4 years active cancel out the rest of my National Guard contract?
Also, After my 4 active (full time) years are up, I want to join the peace corps for 2 years, this is because I am an anthropologist and I will be doing research.
After serving all my active obligations and before I start my inactive years, would I be able to take a 2 year leave?
I just joined, so I don't know how I would go about all this, any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks

I think it still works this way: Once you contract for commissioning, you are essentially under Simultaneous Membership. You are not discharged from the ARNG, but you are a cadet and not a soldier. You can still be deployed, but unless you do, your pay changes to E-5 (unless you are already a higher rank). Upon commissioning, you are discharged from the ARNG and any remaining obligation is obselete as you will have a new obligation starting with your first day as a lieutenant. Once your active obligation is complete, your reserve obligation will be served in an inactive status unless you choose to serve in the Reserves or ARNG again. During this time, you should technically be allowed to join the Peace Corps if you so desire but you can be called back to duty if required.

the army nationwide shield , which i'm a member of is particularly stable. they have finished time jobs you may word for. they help pay for college and you may serve your united states of america. The benefit over energetic is which you an pursue different issues and in case you elect can go energetic afterward. I have been given a college degree from the nationwide shield and how guy different 23 twelve months olds while using for a job can say they have a college degree and is an Iraq conflict vet ( 11 a million/2 months). energetic is substantial however the choice to serve and pursue occupation objectives is an fairly stable deal.

Your unit should have a Career Counselor. He or she would be able to review your specific contract and see how it would be affected by your plans, if at all. I'd go to that person because that's the only way you're going to get a definite answer that's specific to you. If you don't know who the Career Counselor is for your unit, just ask. Someone will point you in the right direction. Good luck to you, and thanks for your service.

active duty always voids any previous NG or reserve duty. if you fulfill your complete national service responsibility on active duty, then you're done, as far as the government is concerned

Yes it will but if you got money for your enlistment in the guard and haven't finished your time in you will have to repay the money. I am a vet and that happened to my exhusband. He had to repay 1300 dollars, they took it out of his pay in small increments.
