Did you know?

Guardsmen do not have access to the same types of financial aid/resources as their active-duty counterparts.

Guardsmen often must take leave from their civilian jobs without pay or use vacation days while performing National Guard Duty.

Guardsmen are U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force Reservists who serve their state and nation when called up for state or federal service including military training.

Guardsmen can be called to active duty for combat or emergency response at any time during their enlistment.

If North Carolina National Guard soldiers and families are struggling, they can submit a simple application the SAAF-NC to receive help.
