Just be careful during your interview. The money for your training and seasoning is typically centrally funded (i.e. it doesn't come directly out of your squadron's budget). However, your squadron has a limited number of training slots, local sorties, overseas missions, instructors, and classroom space during all the other BS training that you'll need. The bottom line is that most ANG and AFRES squadrons will hire you based on your personality and ability to "earn back" the costs associated with your training through you remaining a current, qualified, and participating loadmaster. So if word gets out that you're looking for a 1-2 year ANG job followed by a full time active duty job, it might affect their decision to hire you. Depending on whether or not you have buddies in the squadron who help you get hired, it might also impact their ability to get others hired in the future.
Don't be afraid to say that you'd like to learn more about full time career opportunities within the Guard though.
Good luck,
