The pay scale in the National Guard is based on your rank and time in service, which is pretty similar to the regular military. For example, a Private First Class with less than two years of service can expect to earn around $1,733 per month. Not bad for a part-time gig, right?
But, here's the thing: you don't just get paid for showing up - you have to actually do stuff, like attend drills and participate in training exercises. And, let me tell you, those drills can be intense. I mean, who needs a spa day when you can spend the day hiking in the mud?
