The Tennessee Army National Guard offers a large selection of specialties (MOS's) ranging from cavalry scout to band member. Different MOS's have different qualifications and your recruiter can help you determine which MOS would be best suited for you.

Answer: Non-prior service applicants may use the ONGSP right after enlisting if there is a 90-day or more window from their enlistment date and their basic training date; or 90-day or more window between their basic training completion date and MOS/AFSC start date; or anytime, after completing Basic Training-MOS/AFSC, during their six (6) year enlistment. The Initial Application should be completed and received by the ONGSP Office before the applicant attends Basic Training/AIT.

In most instances, you will still qualify. To be qualified for Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA) which is like extra unemployment benefits, you must have worked at least 26 weeks in the year before your layoff; however, the law allows weeks in active duty in the National Guard to substitute for weeks of employment. If you received notice that you were being laid off you will want to apply for eligibility as an individual.

The National Guard is one branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Tennessee National Guard contains both an Army National Guard and Air National Guard component. The National Guard is composed of reserve forces - civilians who serve their country on a part time basis. Each state has their own National Guard as required by the constitution, in fact, the National Guard is the only branch of the military who's existence is actually required by the constitution.

Chewing gum, yawning or sucking on hard candies can help to relieve the pressure that builds up in your ears as the airplane ascends and descends. If you have a cold, talk to your doctor about using a decongestant or nasal spray before boarding to help relieve the pressure. Do light stretching exercises in your seat and walk through the cabin frequently (when safe to do so). Consult your physician if you suffer from airsickness; he or she may be able to prescribe medication for this.

Even in pressurized airplane cabins, air pressure can cause problems for people with colds or sinus conditions. The resulting discomfort is typically felt during takeoff and landing and can become quite painful. It is most helpful to use decongestant nose drops before a flight. If the symptoms of sinusitis are severe, it is better to avoid flying altogether.

I can't help but feel that booking one of those 'round-the-world' airfares that allow x number stops along the way, would somehow be cheating. For many, it's a great experience, but you inevitably miss out on that essential element of travel that is the journey. It really wouldn't be much more than a very expensive commute, filled with jet lag, baggage delays and duty free perfume. With flight, our world has gotten smaller.
