It is possible, yes, is it easy, no. You are going to need to write a letter of justification of why it is beneficial for you to go Active duty to your Company Commander. From there they will have to do a conditional release recommendation to the Adjutant General of the State. That One Star or Two Star General at the state has the ultimate say if you can be released from the National Guard to go Active Duty. The letter of recommendation will go through the Battalion and Bridgade commanders, or in my state it will before it gets to the G1/TAG.The best way is to try to get a hardship discharge and be able to go Active that way.You will need to talk to an Active duty recruiter to ensure you are meeting the standards (height weight, passing APFT, soon to be ACFT) and they have a slot for you. They have specific paperwork/forms you will need from the state.The reason for this whole process is because the Guard has to manage the amount of personnel they have at the state level. If a state drops below certain numbers they become a medium or small state, drastically affecting they funding the state receives.You can go through this process or ETS, get your NGB 22 and apply for active duty service that way.From my understanding you will not be able to go from Guard to active if you have 8 years or more of time in the guard.I had to go through this process last year for one of the Soldiers in my company. She waited too long and she ETSd prior to getting the conditional release. It can take months to get the process done.*Edit* I saw an answer about becoming Active Guard (AGR). While there are slots that come open often, it can be very competitive. If you want to stay Guard and be fulltime I would look for Unit Supply NCOs (92Y) and Recruiting and Retention NCOs (79R). At least in my state those are the positions we are always looking for. As a 92Y you will be fast tracked to E6 as long as you attend school and pass height/weight, but you will stagnate there for a while. It is also a very demanding job. If you want Recruiting expect long hours, an off schedule (not a 9-5) and putting in a lot of work to meet your mission.

This is not an easy question to Answer, because there are many loopholes, laws, and regulations, and more than a little “bad information” out there from “barracks” and “sea lawyers” to overcome.Let’s start by reviewing the service status first.SERVICE STATUSll US servicemembers have an initial statutory 8-year Military Service Obligation contract, any portion of which not served on active duty will be served in a reserve status.Within that 8-year MSO contract, servicemembers are initially contracted with “initial obligated service”:Regular Component service:2 years Regular and 6 years Reserve component,3 years Regular and 5 years Reserves,4 x 4,5 x 3,6 x 2.Reserve Component service:2 years Selected Reserve drilling obligation and 6 years “any” Reserve category (SelRes, IRR, Standby Reserve),3 years SelRes and 5 years “any” Reserve category,4 x 4,5 x 3,6 x 2.The standard contracts are 4x4 for Regulars, and 6x2 for Reserves, but as you can see there are some deviations.After the servicemember completes their “initial obligated service,” e.g., the Regular has served all 4 years as agreed, or the Reserve has served all 6 years as agreed, they have a choice:As a Regular — “reenlist” on another active duty contract (for Regular service) of typically 3–6 years,As a Regular — “extend” on the same active duty contract (for Regular service) generally for 1 more year,As a Regular — refuse to “reenlist” or “extend,” and by default under their 8-year MSO then transfer to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) of their Service’s Ready Reserve category,As a Reserve — simply continue serving as a volunteer in their SelRes unit status (no reenlistment or extension necessary, because they are already in the Reserves),As a Reserve — refuse to continue participating as a SelRes, and transfer to the IRR of their Service.The individual could also request various other transfers (inter-service, from Reserve to Regular, from SelRes to Active Reserve/Full Time Support/Active Guard/Reserve, officer commission programs, etc.).COMPLETION OF THE 8-YEAR MILITARY SERVICE OBLIGATION (MSO)In all those cases above, until the servicemember has served out all 8 years of their MSO contract, they remain available as manpower resources, whether as Regulars on active duty, as Reserve on FTS/AGR/AR or Mob orders, as Reserve in a SelRes drilling unit, as Reserve in the IRR, even as Reserve in the Standby Reserve (such as a person training to be a minister, who is released from the Ready Reserve while in seminary but not released completely from their contract until they have completed the 8-year MSO).This means that servicemembers with the standard contracts, 4x4 Regulars and 6x2 Reserves, remain “on the hook” for any required recalls to active service, under any of the various mobilization authorities under Title 123XX (or Title 14 for Coast Guard Reserves), even once they’ve completed their initial obligated service, for the duration of their 8-year MSO.→ All commissioned and warrant officers who complete their 8-year MSO, and are in the reserve component, are required by law to “participate” in at least 12 days’ worth of creditable duty…doing something recognized by their Service, one day a month, or 12 days in a row, under official orders, whether with or without pay (usually without pay).[1] Failure to participate in the first year after completing the MSO, or leaving the Selected Reserve unit if drilling, results in essentially a “warning” letter. If the officer still does not meet the minimum participation requirements in the second year, they will be involuntarily discharged, their commission will typically be administratively revoked (usually with an Honorable characterization of service), and they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.→ All enlisted members who do not reenlist beyond the end of their 8-year MSO (whether by Regular or Reserve reenlistments), are automatically discharged on the last day of their MSO. IF they are Regulars on that day, or Reserve with certain types of active duty orders, they will receive a DD-214 and characterization of service on that day, and their pay and allowance and most of their benefits will immediately terminate, they get a handshake, award, or a shove out the door, whatever, and out the door they go: they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.Any enlisted Reserve member who is not on some form of active duty on their last day of their 8-year MSO contract, will be discharged, but will not receive a DD-214 document. Their Service will characterize their final status, and send out a discharge certificate on that date (or shortly after, given automation or lack thereof involved…).Members of the National Guard (officers and enlisted) who are discharged will receive, in addition to the aforementioned handshake, award, or shove out the door, a:NGB 22 - Report of Separation and Record of Service, Departments of the Army and the Air Force, National Guard Bureau[2]Reserve members (officers and enlisted) of the Federal reserves (Army Reserve, Marine Reserve, Navy Reserve, etc.) will receive their handshake, award, or shove out the door, and an Honorable or General discharge certificate, as applicable (by Service):[3]DD 256A - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256AF - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256CG - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256MC - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 256N - Honorable Discharge CertificateDD 257A - General Discharge CertificateDD 257AF - General Discharge CertificateDD 257CG - General Discharge CertificateDD 257MC - General Discharge CertificateDD 257N - General Discharge CertificateIn the distant past, there were other discharges documents, like a “DD-217,” and there were actually discharge certificates for “Other than Honorable” discharges, but those are no longer issued.→ Once that former Reserve member has their discharge certificate, at the end of their 8-year MSO, they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.DISCHARGES BEFORE COMPLETION OF THE MSOIt is also possible to be completely discharged, without any residual military status whatsoever, from either the Regular or Reserve components, earlier than the end of the 8-year MSO, by reason such as:Administrative discharges, such as —Humanitarian reasons,Personality disorders,Conscientious objector status,Misconduct,Substandard performance,In lieu of court-martial,Dropped from the rolls,Entry-level separations,etc.Punitive discharges, such as —Bad conduct discharge for an enlisted member as sentenced by a Special or General Court-Martial,Dishonorable discharge for an enlisted member or an uncommissioned warrant officer as sentenced by a General Court-Martial,Dismissal as sentenced for a commissioned officer, cadet, or midshipman as sentenced by a General Court-Martial.Disability discharges, such as —As a result of the findings of a Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) convened by competent authority, that the member is no longer “fit” to perform the duties of their office, grade, rank, or rating, and the VA has rated those “unfitting” disabilities between 0% and 20%. The member will be “separated for disability,” generally with a medical separation payment.→ In each case above, if the proper authority orders a separation from the Service, and not a transfer to the reserve component or retirement, then they are now full civilians without any remaining residual military status whatsoever. Veterans are not military members, and whether they rate any veterans benefits is a function of various laws and regulations outside the scope of this Answer.RETIREES AS A MOBILIZATION RESOURCEUntil the Day They Die…All Regular and Reserve retirees (Categories I, I, and III) are subject to recall for life, although DoD policy is to limit recalls of those age 60 and older, and those on the disability lists (both are called Category III for mobilization purposes), to those with specific skills to offer, and only after individual evaluation of their “usefulness.” My term, but it describes the concept:Par. 3.2g(2): “The nature and extent of the mobilization of Category III retirees will be determined by each Military Service, based on the retiree’s military skill and, if applicable, the nature and degree of the retiree’s disability.”[4]Retired Members Mobilization CategoriesFor reference, DoD policy establishes three mobilization categories that guide, but are not statutory, mobilization decisions involving retired servicemembers, whether Regular or Reserve:[5]Category I - retired less than 5 years, not retired for disability,Category II - retired for more than 5 years, not retired for disability,Category III - retired for any number of years, either age 60+ or retired for disabilityRecall AuthoritiesRegular retirees are recalled to active service using 10 USC 688 (or 14 USC 2127, 2128, 2308 or 2309 for Coast Guard retirees).[6][7][8][9][10]Reserve retirees with 20+ years of active duty are recalled to active service also using 10 USC 688, as for Regular retirees.Reserve retirees without 20+ years of active duty, i.e., “Gray Area” retirees awaiting retired pay at age 60 (or earlier for certain creditable service after 28 January 2008), are recalled to active service using a variety of other authorities, depending on the nature of the requirements, etc., including:(Image Courtesy of slide #3: https://slideplayer.com/slide/10308711/)10 USC 12301(d) — Voluntary Activation,10 USC 12301(b) — Involuntary Recall, Selective Mobilization (limited to 15 days per year),10 USC 12304a — Involuntary Recall, SecDef Response to State Request for Assistance,10 USC 12304b — Involuntary Recalls, Service Secretary Support for Pre-Planned Missions (in conjunction with Combatant Commander identified requirements), up to 60,000 Selected Reserves,10 USC 12304 — Involuntary Recall, Presidential Recall, up to 200,000 Ready Reserves,10 USC 12302 — Involuntary Recall, Presidential Declaration of National Emergency, Partial Mobilization of up to 1,000,000 Ready Reserves,10 USC 12301a — Congressional Declaration of National Emergency, Full Mobilization of all existing Active and Reserve force structure and resources (which includes all retirees, the Standby Reserves, all cadets and midshipmen, all officer candidates, all ROTC contracted members, all members of the DEP, etc.).These mobilization authorities do not need to be used exclusively in order, and some are often used simultaneously, with volunteers from the reserves and retirees working alongside Regulars and reserves mobilized by various authorities (including the USCG authorities listed above).The US has not used 12301a, Full Mobilization, or its predecessor (prior to enactment in 1952), since World War II, although we came close in the Korean War. Nearly all mobilization resources were tapped in the Korean War, but not completely.In WWII, we exceeded the existing armed forces structure, and massively expanded it, and the entire economy and social construct of the US to fight the war; this is called Total Mobilization, where all tools available to the Nation are tapped, from retirees and all reserves, to drafting individuals involuntarily, rationing critical materials, changing manufacturing from consumer goods to wartime production, etc.CONCLUSIONSo…once you have been retired, discharged, or finished your contract in the military can DoD force you to go back?Yes.And no.If you have been retired, you are a mobilization asset for the rest of your life, regardless of age or infirmity, Regular or Reserve, or how long you served, although the older you are, and the more infirm you are, the less likely you are to be “useful” and actually recalled to active service, even in a Full or Total Mobilization situation.If you have been discharged, and you remain in the reserve component, and have NOT completed your 8-year MSO, you are a mobilization asset until the day your 8-year MSO is completed…and in the event of certain situations potentially after that as long as the war is continued (“…for the duration of the war plus 6 months…”).If you are a commissioned or warrant officer, in the reserve component whether having completed the 8-year MSO or not, and you have not taken affirmative action to resign your commission or warrant and that action has been approved with final discharge approved and revocation of the commission or warrant, you are a mobilization asset until the day your 8-year MSO is completed…and continuing until your final discharge is approved if beyond the 8-year MSO..If you have been completely discharged, AND you are not in the reserve component, and/or beyond your 8-year MSO, you are no longer a mobilization asset…at all.If you are retired, or still under any form of contract whether active duty or reserve, you remain in the military, and as such the “DoD can force you to go back.”Failure to respond when recalled under involuntary conditions amounts to desertion, and may be charged at a court-martial as such if the Service decides to do so, or it may result in adverse administration actions like discharge with an Other Than Honorable characterization and various other adverse conditions.Footnotes[1] 10 U.S. Code § 12642 - Standards and qualifications: result of failure to comply with[2] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[3] Complete list of discharge documents | Veterans Affairs[4] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf (https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf)[5] https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/135201_dodi_2016.pdf, par. 3.2g[6] 10 U.S. Code § 688 - Retired members: authority to order to active duty; duties[7] 14 U.S. Code § 2127 - Recall to active duty during war or national emergency[8] 10 U.S. Code § 688 - Retired members: authority to order to active duty; duties[9] 14 U.S. Code § 2308 - Recall to active duty during war or national emergency[10] 14 U.S. Code § 2309 - Recall to active duty with consent of member

Wrong the State Guard recives some benifits from the Gorverment such as State Guard License Plates from the DMV, Free CHL — Concealed Hand Gun License, College Tuition Assistance, Free Hunting and Fishing License, Deduction on Tollways, 10% Military Discount, Acess to Military Instilations with your CAC — Common Access Card. You're allowed to use the Commissary, BX, Shopet & Mess Hall on base during Drill Days only it's about $5 to eat at the Mess Hall some base’s may not charge you. You're allowed to ware or be awarded some of the same medals and ribbions as the National Guard. Some American Legions recognize State Guard service and others dont how ever there's ways around that there's the American Legion Auxiliary you have to be the spouse, son or duaghter of a Veteran to be eligible to join it's $30 a year or you can join the Marine Corps League or Navy League as an associate but who have to have a family member who is a Sailor or Marine. The State Guard is an all volunteer service under the State Military Department. You are considered a Veteran of the State Guard and not the Armed Force's being a Vetran of the State Guard dose not grant you access to the Veteran's Affairs hospital but you are given State Coverage . They consider the Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxiliary & Coast Guard Auxiliary Veterans but they recive absolutely no benifits from the Government unlink the State Guard, in the Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxiliary & Coast Guard Auxiliary, you have to pay a yearly cost for membership the Civil Air Patrol is $120 & the Coast Guard Auxiliary is $60 per year just like the State Guard you only answer to the State Governor and cannot be fedralized and have to pay for your own uniforms and equipment but they can still take up arm's while there not considered a combat force than can operate as a multiplier wepons can be issued by the State Military Department under orders from the State Governor usally it would be the National Guard. The State Guard & Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxiliary hasent taken up arm's seince 1945 during WWll for state security resson's to guard Armory’s & Nuclear Storage Facilities the Civil Air Patrol was also tasked with reconasince scouting for German U-Boats. They sank 2 and damaged sevral. The State Guard hasent fought in a war seince the Spanish - American Revolution and some units fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War as Cavalry Regiments. You do have the opportunity to trained in small arm's at a National Guard Traning Center or qualify for your free CHL- Concealed Hand Gun License . You serve under the Department of Homeland Security. The Armed Force's dosent get to pick and choose who they consider Veterans and Wannabe Posers. The Constitution dose under the 2nd Amendment and your State Governor. When you decide to leave the State Guard after serving a year under Honorable Conditions. You will receive a NGB - National Guard Beru Form 22. That will grant you the few Government benefits you are entitled too it's not a DD-FORM 214. However some Department of Defense Froms such as the DD-FORM 2807 & 2808 apply for volunteer service that's your Medical Information & Criminal Background Check that gets submitted to the State Military Department even though the State Guard is not the National Guard. You're treated as if you are a National Guard member in some from or another by the State Military Department and your State Governor. You will be paid $120 when called to Active Duty during the event of a flash flood or hurricane. Each state may refer to there State Guard under a different title such as State Defense, or State Military Reserve not to be confused with the Reserve of the Armed Force's that operate under the Department of Defense. They serve both state & federal. California is changing it’s title from the Carolina State Military Reserve to the California State Guard. Just like the National Guard & Reserve the State Guard serves 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks a year every 4th weekend of the month towards the end of the month drill is usually conducted on Friday & Saturday from 10:00AM - 17:00PM. You can usally find the State Guard serveing along side the National Guard at a National Guard Armory. The Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxiliary usally drills 1 night per week on Monday or Tuesday depending on there Squadron from 18:00PM- 22:00 PM . The Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxiliary is tasked with Search & Rescue, Cadet Programs & Areo Space Education operating under the Department of Homeland Security. Senior Members supervise the Cadets within the Composite Squadron. While i haven't served with the Coast Guard Auxiliary they usally patrol the lakes and are set up at a Flotilla .
