Is he accepted to medical school, or just an undergraduate program with a major in medicine?
What guard is his conidering? Army National Guard, Air Force National Guard? Is he going to be enlisted National Guard, or Officer?
What will his MOS (career field) be?
If he is attending medical school there will be many obligations for Med School that may conflict with obligations with the Guard. What if his unit’s two week drill in his home state coincides with an internship halfway across the country?
If he does have a confirmed slot in medical school, he may be better off trying to get a full scholarship/ROTC where not only his school is paid for, but he gets paid to go to school. He may also be better off doing this as a Reserve Officer rather than joining the National Guard.
Good luck to him.
