Yes, but he must have known that. And if he signs up, he should fully understand that that might mean he'll ship out. Good for him.

If his unit hasn't been to Iraq and its a combat unit that isn't in the middle of another commitment such as Kosovo, Sinai, or Afghanistan or isn't reforming, its a big possibility.
If you're B/F is joining the Guard, he knows what he's getting into. He's a big boy. Let him go if he wants.

Pretty good chance. If he's lucky, he'll be in a support role. Unless he's a gung-ho type and wants to see some action. In that case, he'll probably get what he wants in one form or another.

Yes that could happen but they will tell him what this job includes. For example, going to different places.

Since the regular military is having trouble filling its ranks, I would say more national guardsmen will go.

It is highly likely. They need as many warm bodies as they can find to throw into that hellhole.
Write to your Congressman and ask him or her not to fund the war.
