I transferred Guard units last year but am moving back to my home state in a few months. Will I be able to transfer again or make up drills?

To add: I moved 12 hours away for college but my first unit made it sound like it was unheard of, so I just went ahead and transferred. I

Use your chain of command to start the interstate transfer process.

Injave been off line so sorry for the late reply. Each state has an Inter State Transfer (IST) Coordinator. They handle the transfer but you can help the process tremendously by communicating with your losing command and your potential gaining command. Hopefully you were a member in good standing (no AWOL or disciplinary issues). Do not sit back and wait to be askednto drill. Actively find a way to perform your UTAs each month, if you cannot arrange to return to you losing state to perform duty. Then talk to the state you are in and see if you can drill there. This is all just general information because this sort of thing is really a case by case situation.

Before you move, work with your unit and state to get the release and find a unit to go to prior to moving. Go through the procedures you need to get done or suffer the repercussions. I have seen people move states, and then haven't done the transfer and have to go back to the original state as they never left the unit. That can get expensive fast.
