Yes you'd have a job. Your employer would have to give you a job comparable to what you were doing before you left

Waited too late.
To join the National Guard without prior service, you must meet these mandatory requirements: Be between the ages of 17 and 35
Looks like AF Reserve is 39, I would bet that for certain cases only.
Downsizing means more restrictions, age, weight, medical, arrest.....

Yes you'd have a job. Your employer would have to give you a job comparable to what you were doing before you left They do not "have" to give you your job back in all situations... Returning Guard and Reserve members may not be reemployed if the employer’s circumstances have changed in ways that make re-employment unreasonable or impossible. Also, those returning for deployments hopefully return healthy. Physical impairments could prevent you from being rehired as well. It sux there are loop holes if ya want to call them that , that the company's can use.

Best thing for you to do is find out if your even eligible. Much miss-information here about the ages accepted. True fact is you won't be accepted in Army Reserve, Army or Air National Guard, per eligibility requirements. You can search all this on-line and have an idea as to what you can do. Money for the first four or five years is almost a waste of time.

Air Force Reserve: Check it out! From the site: Non Prior ServiceQualifications: Applicants without prior military service must: -Be 17 to 38 years old -Be a U.S. Citizen or legal permanent resident -Have a high school diploma (or GED with 15 college credits) -Be in good health Once these requirements are met, the [Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)], a comprehensive written test, and the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS), physical and moral standard screenings, will help further determine your eligibility. After all testing and physicals are complete, you will go to [Basic Military Training (BMT)], an 8-week course completed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. After BMT, you may need to go to technical training, where you will learn about your career field and can even earn college credit toward a degree.

Being on the active side I can't offer much advice on the reserves or national guard. For eligibility requirements I would talk to the local recruiter. As far as training that will depend on your unit/Mos, I've worked with reserve and national guard guys who were as good as active and some who were not.

I knew they charged a small portion annually when you become eligible at age 60 but the $500 month is while you are actively drilling prior to eligibility at age 60. A helluva lot better than Obamacare. Fireman, Tricare is about $500 annually for retirees.

I did 22+ in the Air Force Reserves. Don't regret serving one bit.

I remember one of my Battalions had a detachment in Bessemer for Navy Cargo Handling and you have lots of opportunities to volunteer for tours of duty all over the world. Good answers guys. I know bessemer has a reserve base of done type that is about 15 miles from my home. I'm not positive but I think its s Navy/marine base and not sure if it's engineering or infantry. My job is Monday through Friday so other than the 2 weeks it should be fine. I haven't spoken to a recruiter yet but am seriously considering it. I suppose I would have to go through a full boot camp or is it a shortened type of BC for reservists? My wife was actually the one sho brought it up because she knows it's in my heart and the $ would just be a bonus. Now if she new that I could be deployed she may think twice but I'd stay true to my dream.

I would finish if I were you but know that MP's will be deployed because they are needed worldwide. Now that my boys are gone from the house Ive debated going back and finishing my time... i only need 7 years to retire. I was Military Police and they were in high demand after 9/11.
