Sir if the benefits you want to keep you have to do the time. I have no idea how long you have to reach the 20 mark but it could be very well worth it. That is my only advise, the other will have to come from someone else. But Good Luck Sir.

If you&#39;re looking at the Guard the respective states usually have postings on their websites of part time and full time positions available.
