Jatx, JCasp,
True, MI is a long way from KY, however the ARNG Low Density Recruiting Program pays low-density critical MOSs add'l $$ to cover travel costs to drill. It was formerly known as: Military Intelligence Readiness Improvement Program (MIRIP). It was specifically designed for cases like this where a MI (that's "Military Intelligence" not "Michigan") guy (or potential MI guy) would have to travel a long way to get to his unit.

For all you 18 series guys reading this post... no, it dosen't apply to you....yet. This is being worked at the national level and the case for inclusion if 18 series MOSs into this program being pitched at the highest levels withing the ARNG and is being received positively. Just have to stand by on that one, folks.
