Is it allowable for active military personnel to conduct private businesses while serving?

Yes, but I don't see where you'd have time.  There are plenty of regulations that explain how much precedence the military takes ove anything else you happen to have going on.

All Active, Guard and Reserve services implemented an "Up or Out" policy in the 70's. If your friend's husband is in the Nat Guard, he has to progress in rank. Active soldiers have a shorter period given to do this, Guard and Reserve soldiers are allowed a longer period between promotions, primarily because their training periods are spaced out by weekends, not full time. Answer 2 is right about slots and moving to new units where slots may be open. As to the question, Is he Active Duty, not officially. As an NG soldier he can be "Federalized", meaning that he or his unit are placed under the control of an active forces unit. His home state no longer pays his salary, the federal gov't pays it and determines where he is assigned or shipped out to. Depending on his age, he can ask to be considered for Full-Time guard positions, if he has a skill needed in a full-time position (i.e. Admin or Maintenance or Training). There are hundreds of full time NG and Reserve soldiers needed to keep the NG and Reserve units running when the rest of the unit personel are doing their civilian jobs.

Request counciling. If not provided by the military then seek private means.

I'd suggest calling any local military bases or reserve/guard units. I know that active duty military bases have programs in place like what you are talking about.

Yes and no.  Active duty members who serve a full career and retire are subject to recall (enlisted as well as officers), although it rarely happens.  On the other hand, anyone who does just a single tour and gets out may still be in the inactive reserves for a few years and thus subject to recall, but once the reserve time he agreed to when sworn in (read the fine print!) is done, the military can't call him back under any normal circumstances.\n\nRetirees don't get called back often, but it can happen-- which is one of the arguments in favor of retirees benefits.  If you retire from the Acme Candy Company and they find themselves short on licorice-makers, they're out of luck.  If the military desperately needs logistics officers (or whatever), well... I hope you dodn't throw away your uniforms!\n\nAn exception-- people who are medically retired don't get recalled, for obvious reasons.

not on initial entry.  If they develop diabetes while in the military they can continue to serve, but will be awaiting a medical board to consider their continuing or medical discharge

Deployments are not a place for civilians to be hanging out.. they are doing a very dangerous job.  I am rather confused by what you mean.  during port calls on deployments there is usually not enough time to get there to visit, considering the location will not be disseminated until after they leave.  The only port call you know of semi aheadof time prior to them coming home is when they pull in somewhere to pick up Tigers.. and spouses are not allowed on Tiger cruises in any event..  heck, I am not even sure subs HAVE Tiger cruises.  \n\nIf anything, many spouses wimp out and run home to Mommy and Daddy when deployments happen.

Yes you can run,also you can run inthe military too.

Yes they can. It depends on if their job limits them.  Call the peronnel office that is repsonsible for your pay and hiring, they will be able to let you know if you are in a mission essential job that does not allow you to continue or start a career in the reserves.

in military you are to do as you are told.. in civilian world you can raise your hand and ask or opose to the situation..\n\nThat's just as basic as it can be.. ;o)

Aside from the US Military, all other employees are civilian. Here is some info on the '03 stats.

Yes you most definately can.  The military will even do it if you are already in and 100 lbs over weight.  The only thing is its disqualifing for certain jobs.  I don't know what they all are.  The only one I know is sub duty.  I'm a submariner and have a buddy that was looking into it.  They told him he have to go to a surface ship if he got it done.  It has to do with the lack of a doctor on a sub and if the surgery comes undone you can have serious problems that an idependant duty corpman wouldn't have the knowledge to fix.

most of the driving is done by locals in "jingle trucks" the rest the military covers. So either join the service or talk to the Kuwaitis people. There is also a company that does like everything maybe ask them there called KBR. I am not really sure about that whole civilian driving off base in a combat zone type thing. Most supplies come on planes or choppers anyhow.

No. That's called a conflict of interests. If the\ngovernment invested into the private sector then they\nwould pass laws that would favor some companies over\nothers. That would stifle free enterprise.

no its not illegal...soldiers do it all the time especially when theyre about to deploy

That might be something to ask your company...I'm sure they have a security manager that would work with any base you need access to, and the two parties would go from there.
