i went that route before
but so you know the years from your national gaurd service only counts as far as time in grade so if your an e5 your time would add up with the ng service and may count as being in too long for your grade
had that happen to me said if i diddnt get promoted right away id be out for too much time in grade
i mean i just went in active and they told me this(was many years ago)so i had to get an immidiate promotion to stay in?
i worked it out with personel so i can have ample time to be up for it
just watch the bs there gonna pull and they will!!
good luck pal!!
oh and the new acus suck ass!!!velcro only sticks to stuff you dont want it to-like your socks!

(CNN) -- A Vietnam War veteran killed in an Iraq roadside bombing this week has become the oldest American service member to be killed in either Iraq or Afghan combat, the Pentagon has confirmed.
Maj. Steven Hutchison died in a roadside bomb attack last Sunday near Basra, Iraq.
Maj. Steven Hutchison -- a 60-year-old soldier from Scottsdale, Arizona -- died Sunday in the southern Iraqi city of Basra after a bomb went off near his vehicle in the region.
Hutchison spanned two war eras. He enlisted in the Army at 19 and served in Vietnam, according to a news report on CNN affiliate KNXV-TV.
Hutchison wanted to serve again after the September 11 attacks, but his wife opposed that.
His wife died of breast cancer in 2006, and Hutchison was "devastated," his brother Richard Hutchison told KNXV.
Steve Hutchison jogged, got into great physical shape and returned to Army active duty at age 57 in Afghanistan and then Iraq.
He had been assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kansas.
"He's been a soldier his whole life," Richard Hutchison said.
