What is life like in the Air national guard?

Do you have to be part time? can you fly full time?

And what about pay? what does "Basic pay (4 days for working 1 weekend)" mean? Can you live off of the ANG or do you need to have another job on the side?

Basic pay for working part time seems to good to be true. I must be misunderstood?

What is the application process, should I start by talking to a recruiter...where do you start?
Can you join any unit you want or do you get assigned a unit after UPT?

I have a bachelor's degree, my private, and am working on my instrument, and plan on getting my commercial, multi, and CFI as well. Im just considering all of my options.

any advice on flying in the air national guard is appreciated!

Thanks everyone!
