Questions about the California National Gaurd and MOS training
9/6/2023 5:43:17 PM
Was the enlistment term 2 years or 4 years in the California National Guard in the early to mid 1960s?

What did photographers in the California National Guard do and how long was their MOS training?

What were the MOS’s for Photography in The US Army back in the mid-late 1960s?

Your total enlistment period will be eight years, but you can serve as little as three or six years, and spend the remainder in IRR (Individual Ready Reserve). IRR Soldiers don't train with a unit, but can still be called up in the event of an emergency.

Have you looked at the FAQ link I posted? I ask because I was USN but I can Google.
