Absolutely it is. I did my 20, on AD, and in the ANG and AFR.
Suprised you haven't heard it-- it was a point of pride that those of us in the ANG did a better job than our AD counterparts (better maintained equipment and more experience) for less cost to the taxpayer.
Well, my apologies, because I thought you were being negative about it, but you are, not only correct, but also 100% in the know. Thanks for serving, and certainly thanks for paving the way for me and my fellow reservists.
