Yikes. I'm not sure I've ever heard someone seriously offer this as something to do on purpose.
Maybe the situation is different in a C-17 unit. Commuting to a fighter ANG unit is not usually an optimum plan. It certainly can be done, but it definitely makes life more difficult and diminishes some of the positives that can be available when juggling an airline and ANG schedule (especially as a new hire airline guy).
