Is the U.S Air National Guard any good?

Question

I am considering joining the Air National Guard. Are they any good? in terms of good job training, straying from long deployments, money for college, some medical benefits,etc.

Also I heard rumors you are required to have a Drivers Liscence to enlist with the ANG, is this true?

Personal expeirance would be best, but if you honestly know, please be sure to tell me what you know.

Answer 1

I would say that joining the ANG would be a great choice.  Deployments can be up to a year now, money depends on rank but it's the same for all branches.  College money is great if you're going to a public school.  Med. benefits can be purchased through Tricare but they're not great if you're single and poor.  DL??? never heard that.
