Question
My husband is active duty and currently getting out in AUG 10. He had orders to be a recruiter but didn't want to take them because hes wanted to go to school full time, so he signed a deck. I'll be commissioning in MAY 10 and joining the National Guard. He wants to join the Guard as well, but doesn't know how it would work with having signed a Deck. Also would it be a problem for both of us being in the national guard(were moving to WI) to be stationed at the same place? thanks for your time
No, you both can be in the Guard at the same location, but of course could not be in the same unit or in a position where you could be in command over him. His best bet would be try to work thru the RCCC on his out processing to find a unit near the area yall would liek to live.

Expertise
I am a National Guard recruiter , been doing it for seven years and am a subject matter expert on qualifications for National Guard and I keep up to date on Regular Army regs and programs. I was in the Navy for 4 years and have 13 years in the Guard. I will not sugar coat my answers to you. They are usually short and to the point. If you need more in depth, ask me. Because each situation is different, alot of times you need to actually talk to a recruiter and let them evaluate your situation in person, by looking at your documents, issues etc. If I suggest this, it would be in your best interest to do so. Finally...thank you for your interest in serving this great nation of ours. Very few people can actually make the cut to serve let alone choose to do so. So thank you for wanting to and hopefully you will get a chance. Whatever branch you choose, thank you and good luck.
