The state may order Guardsmen to state active duty, which is not paid by Federal monies but comes directly from the state's budget. SAD is usually used during times of immediate emergency and for sort periods. While on State Active Duty, the Guardsmen do not accumulate retirement points, are not paid at their rank's normal rate, and do not qualify for Federal benefits like the GI Bill.
Man the National Guard is confusing, it seems like a great way to get hosed even harder than active duty.
How does one not get paid their rank's rate?

This and "doing something(please give us money lol)" about abortion rights is what they're going to campaign on in November while the country is falling apart around them too.

e: and I'm not saying that both shouldn't be a part of the message with abortion stuff leading the way, but we all know they're going to go about it in the worst way possible.

You're allowed to not testify if there may be something in your answer that could incriminate you.

Flynn absolutely told Trump throughout their planning that the violence was necessary and justified.

Those were targeted questions because they already have evidence of what he did, and if he said anything else he could be charged with perjury. He's already been caught doing that before.

Basically the state has one rate they pay for soldiers on state active duty. It doesn't match the DFAS pay chart and doesn't have to because it's not federal.

Yeah, the national Guard is great. Five overseas deployments and I don't get my retirement till I'm 60.

Ah, got it. Yeah no thanks, glad I never even considered joining the Natty Guard
edit: well, I actually did in 2013 when the USAF announced they were kicking out 25,000 of us right before Xmas hit, so that's a lie. Fun times that was.

There are at least three different rates a national guard solider can get paid. In the leadup to my activation I was put on special orders that were designed to help burn up the drill pay budget for the year and drill pay worked out to be something like 140% of active duty pay, IIRC.

Didn't that issue come up during some Congressional hearing of some sort? I remember LOTS of debate around how to "properly" use the 5th. I also remember that no one agreed.

First general googling thing:

https://bjsmithcriminaldefense.com/blog/all-you-need-know-about-pleading-fifth/

quote:

No Picking and Choosing

The key to protecting your rights against self-incrimination is to plead the Fifth throughout proceedings. You can’t get on the witness stand and start answering all of the questions put to you, and then plead the Fifth at a point where you think your response might implicate you in a crime. You can’t “open the door” by answering some questions and trying to evade others. Either you take the Fifth throughout or not at all.

Don’t think you’re safe only answering your defense attorney’s questions either. If the prosecutor follows up on some of those answers in rebuttal you might find that you gave up your right to take the Fifth. For instance, if you tell your lawyer that you weren’t at the scene of the crime at the time it was committed, the prosecutor can later ask you where you were that day. You opened the door by addressing the subject.

Sure you can *probably* 5th about certain before-agreed topics, but if you step on your dick and open the door, that's that. So you show up, 5th every question, then head home. In this specific thing, with two pardonees, best legal advice actually IS to have them show up and take the 5th a whole lot.
