Do You Get Paid in the National Guard
The pay scale in the National Guard is based on your rank and time in service, which is pretty similar to the regular military. For example, a Private First Class with less than two years of service can expect to earn around $1,733 per month. Not bad for a part-time gig, right?
But, here's the thing: you don't just get paid for showing up - you have to actually do stuff, like attend drills and participate in training exercises. And, let me tell you, those drills can be intense. I mean, who needs a spa day when you can spend the day hiking in the mud?
