I’m a 15y & just curious on how I find out when my national gaurd unit is up for its next deployment so I can prepare while I’m in AIT .

Call your unit. These days National Guard Deployments are known months and in some cases, more than a year ahead of time. They will know if you are scheduled a deployment.

Talk you your Unit as I believe there is a 5 year training cycle calendar, of course if your Country needs your Unit to be deployed based at anytime than all bets are off

You should be ready at all times.. you're national guard.. that means a hurricane can hit and you will be sent there.. California fires, you could be sent.. the list goes on.. best thing to do is be ready and watch what's going on in the world...

Hell, just call them. And since you're at AIT, concentrate on AIT. One step at a time. Besides, there is no guarantee that you would be on the deployment roster.

Guess I'm lost or things have really changed. What is a person with 15 years doing as a PFC and going to AIT?
