Why can't Guardsmen become Drill Sergeants? Are there any opportunities to perform the duty temporarily (like an ADOS or AGR job)? I would love to train and mentor new soldiers some day as a leader and NCO. I would also LOVE to be an OSUT PSG for 12B (combat engineer) school. Is that any different than regular Drill Sergeant duty?

The National Guard has at least one drill sergeant at each RSP location. I don't know the procedure for getting that position, but I have certainly seen them.

I am not sure what that system is now. We had RSP program in SC, and if you were cadre and E5 or above, you could go to DI school. You served as RSP DI, senior cadre type. Not sure if still available like that or no

You actually have to be in a training unit that has slots for Drill Sgt's.. It is a great opportunity for broadening your career but certainly career advancement. Those training units always look for hard charging NCO's

As was mentioned, RSP "units" for the Guard have National Guard Drill Sergeants (not Reserve DS). As with many other aspects, this may vary by state. I have DA Civilian experience in the G1 as well as Civilian experience working in the RSP. I highly recommend contacting the RSP 1SG (part of R&R) to find out your state's procedures for attending DS school.

Just a heads up... There are no AIT platoon sergeants in an OSUT environment. OSUT is all of BCT and AIT combined lead only by drill sergeants.

Good luck with becoming a drill sergeant though... It's a very rewarding career and I'll help any way I can.

I know that in NY where my wife and I are the NY guard the NY state militia to the NY army Natl guard, does actually have their own boot camp and a cs, possibly other training programs. Look at http://www.sgaus.org the main org of the real state militias, maybe they might care for such help, just a thought, trying to be creative, obviously. Then, too, you could also possibly try the JROTC programs civil air patrol or the naval sea cadets, you never know you might luck out, I'd be curious as to your thoughts and or reactions, hope was useful, many thanks, also, maybe you could do an interservice transfer, you never know maybe other svcs might have such needs, just another thought.

Capt Daniel Goodman, in every state where I have read the authorization statutes for a state guard, a state guard position is mutually exclusive with both National Guard and Active Reserve status -- i.e., not having any current federal military obligation is a prerequisite for eligibility.

I follow, I surmised as much, certainly, it was just that I'd merely thought to make the suggestion, purely on the off chance that there might be some way of possibly covolumteering, maybe, that was all, honest, not, of course, that there necessarily would be. I'd read stories in NY of exercises and or interactions between the NY guard and the NY army Natl guard, so it just seemed a possibility to merely ask, apart from the other organizations I'd suggested considering as well. I realize none of them are the same as being with one of the regular services to do such work, of course, it's just that the thought merely occurred to me and I was just trying to be creative, honest.

It is simply not part of the NG assigned mission. You should look to see where you can get deeper involved into your units training mission help your organization in meeting its readiness goals. I recommend that you take a deeper drive into your units mission as assigned and read up on the role of the Guard in the grand scheme of thing and you will find your niche.
