OATH OF ENLISTMENT AIR NATIONAL GUARD:
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.
Tell me, FRiend, how does one get out of serving in an active vital F-101 intercept squadron in Texas to go help out a politician running for Congress in Alabama to a ground-based IRR Air Guard unit where no one remembers him ever showing up for drill?
