My daughter and I were discussing both the guard and active military. In general the guard is worse. Your post identifies the additional problems of the guard. There are guard officers who have no real active military experience and they are often very very ignorant. But it also is a function of the states political personality. I would proffer in general blue state guard units are more dysfunctional.

<<one captain we had while at weekend camp on cape cod started to play with his forty five. he was pointing it at his head. one the guys suggested he might not want to do that it might go off. captain says no way safety is on. he points at a tree and blows a hole into it.>> A close friend of mine grown son was showing off his .45 to friends. The clip was out and he showed how safe it was by sticking it in his mouth and pulling the trigger. His father donated the organs except the eyes which were ruined. The clip doesn't matter when there's a round in the chamber.
