In terms of lifestyle, how difficult has the transition been from NG to Active Duty?

As of now, I have begun the process in submitting my DD368. I am working up my chain of command at the moment. I just want to know; what sort of cultural differences exist between the two components that I need to be aware of and how potentially challenging is the change in lifestyle? I wish to know this in order to avoid any chance of being ate up upon arrival to a new, active unit (if I get approved at all, to be fair).
I am getting a marriage license and filling out paperwork for that in the coming weeks. So I understand that I will be given BAH. My spouse and I have discussed this at length so I don’t have too much concern about that at the moment.
Any advice/words of wisdom are appreciated!

NG you drill or annual training then go home and forget it till next training event, especially for lower enlistment. Your life revolves mainly around your civilian word.
Active Duty your life revolve around the military. Yes, you have free time but your thoughts become focused on your Army life.
I started out active duty, when to the NG. During my guard time transitioned to Active Duty several times including a four year tour just before I retired.

AD has a lot more control over you. You won't pencil whip events, and you will have more time to coordinate training.
