I am extremely interested in joining the National Guard, I also want to become a Law Enforcement Officer eventually. I am about halfway done with my college degree and want to serve my community and my country. How is National Guard experience viewed by law enforcement agencies? And how difficult is it to be both a LEO and a soldier in the National Guard?

In Ohio where I went through the academy the easy answer is a yes! They had a Saturday morning driving course but we had several fro the reserve and guard there and they changed it to allow the other times! In Ohio you're given extra credit if taking the employment test and you can also get tax breaks so it was a definite plus

Yes, you get a drill excuse. You drill for like a month straight to cover for the dril weekends you miss. That’s what i did. My academy was 6 months long
