What state's NGSF are you trying to join - I'm guessing A/2/20 in Illinois?

FWIW, my advice is to get in touch with the SF unit you're looking to join first. If I remember correctly, NG recruiters are like AD recruiters in that they don't get credit for moving someone from the reserve to the Guard. That means you're at the bottom of their priority list, and if someone has to fall off of their plate, you'll be that guy.

All the SF NG units I know about have a dedicated recruiter they work with, who will make sure that the right paper gets pushed. A/2/20 used to have regular tryouts - if they still do, and you attend and pass one, their full-time staff will work with you to make the transfer happen. I'd suggest calling them, or whichever state you're looking to move to., and let them get you to the right recruiter.
