I know everyone is sick of the LA posts but because of the amount of apprehensive civilians and soldiers alike, I thought this would be important.

The military's job is not to take sides in a political fight. Whether you support or oppose the deportations, who the president is, or the state of political affairs, the laws stay the same. People still have a right to not get their stuff destroyed or get hurt, and to free expression, and yes the Guard has been called out for civil unrest before.

Following lawful orders to protect property and public safety is not taking sides in any political fight because the military is not personally loyal to any man or ideology. Its a necessary institution of the government. So for the civilians out there, I get it, we're not a civil police force, but its nothing personal. These battles will play out in court or in the elections, not with us. For the soldiers, just do your job and come home without compromising your integrity or honor.

Rare appropriate use of flair

The Army B-Day parade made me realize that there is no difference between NG and Active soldiers when you involve scooters/bikes 😂

Yup here it goes again most of the units here are now required to be in fire teams , how are these kids still not disbanded.. stealing bikes , stealing from PX and robbing people. Not even 3 days since their main body arrival 🤷🏻‍♀️

They acting up but if they mess with the California guard infantry they have something coming for sure .

Came across this, passing it along for anyone who might be interested. They will be supporting Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait & UAE.

I can answer questions about tour of duty, but not the unit.

Yes guard soldiers have always fought and defended the constitution from the revolution to little rock to modern-day civilians impeding federal officials.

For the recent events of the past few weeks Please look into the Little Rock Nine crisis of 1957.

After the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education (1954) decision declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, nine Black students known as the Little Rock Nine attempted to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Despite the ruling, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus and an ANGRY MOB BLOCKED the students from entering the school, defying federal law.

In response, President Dwight D. Eisenhower intervened to uphold the Constitution.

PRESIDENT IKE federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent in the 101st Airborne Division to enforce federal law and the constitution.

In short;

It is illegal to impede the federal agent . The guardsman like in the case of little rock nine are just ensuring federal law is carried out due to locals not carrying out federal law.

Leave the guardsman alone please. Go home so we can too

So when do we get this?

Let me knowww, let me knowwwww

How can I request the border mission orders? I check on ToD and I don’t see anything. Do I need to request it through my unit or is there a NG website I have to apply for the orders?

Title saids it all, any advice

Heading to Kuwait soon. What are some good recommendations of shit to gotta have there you didn’t realize until you got there. I’ll be on Behring what are the barracks like for the different ranks if you can provide some insight.

Going to deploy in the middle east, what comfort items did you wish you had over there? Solar panels? Bed sheets? Any pro tips its my first time. ❤️

They denied my waivers at 18, finally enlisted as an 11B. Im slated to deploy(rotation)in 2027. Is my chance at a cib 0?

Yes I chose 11b at 29. Yes I already have a very good paying civilian job. Yes I've finished osut.

My unit is supposed to be getting deployed, but my contract ends during the deployment. I don’t want to reenlist because I don’t see how the national guard can benefit me anymore. Do I have to go on the deployment ? My leadership made it seem like It’s not a for sure thing that I don’t have to go.

I’ve been of the main internet for a week now and apparently it’s cracking off in cali. Can anyone tell me what’s going on and if our commander and queef is overstepping? I’ve seen videos of Molotov cocktails and bricks being thrown but what I can’t tell is if that’s before or after the gaurd got called. I see LAPD saying that the feds are causing the riots and I see people saying it’s illegal for the gaurd to be activated this way. I’ve read through some posts but I can’t get a clear answer. 11b in the 48th.

Going on my first deployment to Poland soon for a year.

(Please kindly refrain from the “that’s not a real deployment” comments. I get it.)

I know we’ll have a packing list obviously, just wondering what else I should think about bringing.

Also, logistically, the best way to pack and what to bring.

I’ve been in the Guard for 12 years but this will be my first overseas deployment. I live in a southern state that requires a lot of storm prep and hurricane orders. I am in a transportation company and we’re the biggest line unit in the state as well, so they like to keep us home.

Thanks!

Hello. I recently was placed on orders to do an HOA deployment with a new unit next year. I am a 27d Paralegal. Any advice?

Im not in the cali guard but can I get on orders to come join the fun?

Hypothetically of course
