A Year in the National Guard
Members of the National Guard perform 12 weekend drills and 15 days of annual training each year. These estimated annual pay rates reflect what members of the Guard would earn in a year for that duty. Guardsmen called up for extended mobilizations are compensated at the same pay rates as regular active-duty members. The rates below do not include food and housing allowances received by many members when performing their annual 15-day training stint. What a year as a drilling Guardsman is now worth:
