Yes, it is authorized.
Way more often than not, it is NOT funded in the Guard, Air or Army.
It is usually funded in the Reserves.

Start with finding the kind of job you want in a unit (Guard or Reserve) that is within a reasonable or affordable commute.

What you are asking is if the Air National Guard has IDT Reimbursement. Yes, the Air Guard has IDT but the program is restricted to certain Officer and Enlisted skill sets and distance from HOR to unit.

Normally, how the IDT works is you pay out of pocket for travel expenses and then submit for reimbursement.

I would highly suggest you ask this question of the Air Guard Recruiter you are working with. Also, I suggest you find the nearest Air Guard unit to your HOR and submit this RFI to them.

Yes and no! The problem is you are dealing with state budgets when it comes to the Guard. The best solution would be finding a unit in your state closer to your home.
