For questions, call me at 562 900-0575 or visit www.iguardcalifornia.com or my blog at http All National Guard, Army Reserve and regular Army trainees attend 9 weeks of basic training at one of the US Army's BCT locations around the country. Where you go for basic depends on you MOS. National Guard soldiers return home after training is complete while the regular Army soldiers will then ship off to their assigned duty station here in the US or somewhere overseas. National Guard soldiers serve one weekend per month and two weeks during the summer. Guard soldiers have a dual mission, first is to support our states in times of disasters. Secondly, we do our part in operations around the world. We are commonly referred to as "citizen-soldiers" because of our unique mission.

Arlington National Cemetery - America's most hallowed ground
Arlington National Cemetery, resting place for more than 240000 American military men and women and their dependents, is the most honored burial ground, consecrated by the famous and the everyman, with a history that links George Washington to Robert E. Lee to John F. Kennedy. The most famous burial at Arlington is unknown. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier includes the remains of unidentified soliders from World War I, World War II and the Korean War, and honors those fallen soldiers "known but to God." The precision and poignancy of the changing of the guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns is one of the most moving spectacles of the capital, and is carried out hourly or, in summer months, on the half hour. The real impact of Arlington is in its serenity. On its 612 acres of rolling hills are interred America's heroes, both famous and unsung, with the rows of headstones seemingly standing at attention, ever ready for duty. And when taking in the view of the city from Arlington House that so inpsired President Kennedy, one understands what they fought for. In honor of Master Gunnery Sergeant Darrell Boatman USMC killed in Iraq and his father, Master Sergeant Roy Boatman, Army Ranger Vietnam Veteran.
