I'm in the National Guard now.My job is sending me overseas to work in Germany for a year.What are my options?
My contract is up in a year and now I don't know if I'm going to re-enlist because this could change my life in a different way. I wanted to get some advice and some knowledge about my options before I present this to my unit. Thanks!

You can be excused from a few weekends for hardship, but the for the main training weeks, you will have to fly back. However many commanders would prefer to call it a day. They will arrange for you to report to a base in germany for your weekends, with the understanding you will not reenlist. However, if they really like you there are all kinds of deal deals going on. Look at what happened to Bush. Bush accidentally forgot to take his physical, dropping him from the flight line. That opened up a position for a real fighter pilot returning from vietnam. In exchanged for going quietly, they transferred him to Alabama when he moved there. Note, if you report to a base in Germany, you will have PX privileges. I have heard guys talking, and this may be huge.
