Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same... President Ronald Reagan

US Army National Guard 1980-1987
972nd Dental Detachment
Spec 4
I joined and met 6 drills before graduating high school. Quite a few of us chose to do that in various NG units.
Quite a few went full-time military.
My unit was overstaffed with long-termers and rank was very slow to come by.
I graduated pharmacy school in May, 1987 and there were no officer slots for me to transfer into and many in the waiting line ahead of me holding enlisted slots.
Still, I planned to stay in, but our unit was called to mandatory 2 drill weekends per month instead of 1.
I was already working 2 weekends per month at the pharmacy. It just became undoable.
So I exited my unit later in 1987.
The dental unit I was in and the medical unit I was trying to transfer to were both disbanded in the early 1990s, so I would not have made retirement anyway.
Leaving the unit was, reluctantly, the best decision I could have made at the time.
I am proud to have served, even though the most difficult combat I saw was in fighting tooth decay.
