Not that it's necessary, but I'll also pile on in agreement. I got out at the end of '98. Was a traditional guardsman with the 20th SFG until I put the uniform back on full time in '06... but as a full-time guardsman.
Had guys on my team in the 20th that I had served with on AD. The team stayed together until we launched downrange to AFG in '03. Some of us could have left (reassigments/promotions) but we all made conscious decisions to stay on the team. We ran like clockwork. JCETS (before the war) were EASY. SOPs in place and in use.
Stay in the Regiment. Don't waste your experience. Continue to serve your country. You cannot be mass produced. Service in the ARNG allows you to do other things but still keep active in the community that you are a part of now.
Going ARNG after leaving Active Duty was the best decision that I ever made.
Feel free to PM me if you want to chat.
