No more stabilization?

[Maddog5150]

I am currently deployed and am hearing rumors all over saying that there is no more stabilization for the guard anymore. This means that they can pull us for another deployment as soon as our plane lands back home. Can any other guardsmen chime in and tell me if this is true?

Stabilization is now 1 year instead of 5. Also, you no longer have 90 days from the end of your AD orders before you have to go back to drill, you now must go back to drill immediately.

Thankfully I have almost 60 days of terminal leave coming to me at the end of this deployment

One year is not long at all. Does that year get extended if you go to Ranger school or any other schools?

Wow... that is really jacked up considering the guard is supposedly the militia mentioned in the 2nd amendment.

I'm simply referring to the fact that militias are frowned upon in certain states (CA) and all we have left is the national guard who the people largely consider as their domestic protection. No need to get cranky.

It's alright buddy I got to spend 5 months in the states managed to break my ankle falling off one of those damn motorcycles and got deployed again while I had just started physical therapy. Fun times came back and bought another bike to add to the collection

when the hell did this change?

[Manic Moran]

Operation Yellow Ribbon. Not drills in the traditional sense of military training, it's a bunch of mandatory meetings for re-integration. Generally a couple of hours, bring your wife/family along. Takes place 30, 60 and 90 days after returning.

As far as stabilization in general, that five-year thing was never guaranteed to begin with.

NTM

You know the messed up thing is that they never did a proper rotation of units. In the ng, army, or marines. It was always the same units going back and forth. So it's now wonder our military is stressed to serve both fronts.

Nope. And getting Ranger School as a Guardsman? LMAO

Sometime in the last year. I found out about it a month or so ago.

National Guard, one weekend a month, 2 weeks out of the year, deployed every other year

[grnt]

you are so right. there are units that have 1 tour and thats it. alot of units appear to be not needed in theater so they only go once or twice. i'm in a maintenance unit and they went once and i doubt they will go again. they didn't do maintenance in Iraq either.
