Ssgt 88m IlARNG I've got two tours to Iraq and coming up on one to Afghanistan in ten years. I've logged over 20k miles through Iraq as a lead vehicle commander and a gunner on convoy security elements. I've been shot at the same as the regular guys and had ieds go off just the same as they do for regular army.

I have a buddy in the 19th SFG that would probably beg to differ about national guard not counting as well.

Do not hate us weekend warriors because we chose to attend college or something else and still answered the call to serve our country.
