Im in the guard as an intel analyst. If you are planning on joining keep in mind that you do have to go to basic training and AIT in the active army, then you get to come back and to your one weekend a month/ 2 weeks a year thing. If your planning on going into intel, you may be in training for anywhere between 3 months to a little less than a year and a half I think. For my job I had basic training (10 weeks) and AIT for intelligence analysis (16 weeks).

edit: I cant believe I forgot about this: some jobs are stoplossed (you cannot get out) until 2031 or until they decide to lift it. And my job is one of them...
