I was an Army Reservist and was deployed from August 2002 to July 2003 for Operation Enduring Freedom. Since then, I have transferred to the National Guard and have changed my MOS. The National Guard unit I transferred to will be deploying sometime next month for an 18 month rotation in Iraq.Now, I have heard that in the National Guard, if you've been deployed in the last two years, in order for you to deploy again, you have to sign a waiver, requesting to go on the deployment.he National Guard unit I transferred to will be deploying sometime next month for an 18 month rotation in Iraq.

As part of the IMA you will be assigned to an active duty unit. So in a time of war or national emergency you could be called up quickly to bring your unit up to strength. You will be required to train with your active duty unit for two weeks a year. However, in addition to annual training you will be required to earn 40 extra drill points per year for retirement. These points can be earned through working at your unit for points only (meaning you will not get paid), or by taking correspondence courses.
