Apparently it’s very common across the board for large percentage of the NG SF units to have out of state members. Ohio's B-2-19th has a guy who fly’s in from Vietnam for drill! Is that out of state enough for ya.
Also most NG SF units allow split training, where you can defer drill for up to three months. This helps with busy schedules or long plane rides from the Left Coast and some units may allow you to undertake short contracts with this split training program. I believe to defer over three months it goes beyond the unit and up to the State NG level which becomes less flexible.
If it’s any easier I can put you in direct contact with the Ops Sergeant for Ohio's B-2 19th. They have a great recruiting team there, I worked with them remotely while overseas to reenlist myself, and I know firsthand they can work with you remotely as well?
I will PM you Ohio’s details now, and if Sergeant ***** can’t help just ask me for 19th HQ. ****’s address is a yahoo address for the sake of PerSec. Let me know how it goes.
Stay safe
