It's called "SUTA" - Substitute Unit Training Assembly. National guardsmen SUTA drills *all the time*. It's a mechanism that was put into place because the Guard understands that being a civilian and a soldier at the same time sometimes produces conflicts.

I can't think of a single guardsman I know who hasn't SUTAed a drill before - including myself.

SUTA was great - the base was mostly empty and there usually wasn't much to do, so lunch at the NCO club was always a little longerr....
