What is it like arriving to your first unit as a Guardsmen?

10.5K

I enlisted last month in the RIANG. When I get to my unit, should I let my leadership know that I want to be fully involved and volunteer for everything or should I lay low until I prove myself? If given the opportunity, What are some good courses for a young NG infantryman to attend?

Your best bet is to try and prove yourself because you being with the guard you would want to become active guard duty member either working with the recruiter or with a commander as a pencil pusher.
