Agreed, that was very astute of you. That is not enough time for the Guard to get their "feet wet". Did the bill mention as to whether who will get the pay for the mission?I am willing to bet that the state will get the bill because the federal government have a poor history pf reimbursing the state government.

I heard the other day that even if the NG is federalized that the states have to reimburse a portion of the cost. Don't remember where I heard it or what the cost was.
