Joining the Michigan National Guard (MIARNG) was a choice that made perfect sense to Pfc. Donald Mass as he maneuvered through college in preparation for a career in law enforcement.
Mass enlisted in the MIARNG in 2018, joining the 464th Quartermaster Company as a shower and laundry specialist. Some of his duties include management and maintenance of shower operations, large-scale collapsible tank operations and mobile repair operations for various equipment.
21 Battle Creek, Mich. National Guard members join the military for various reasons. For some, it could be simply to serve their community, state or nation, to secure financial aid for college or to gain valuable work experience. One member of the Michigan Air National Guard (MIANG) pursued enlistment with the National Guard to secure affordable health insurance for his family.
Before enlisting in the MIANG, Senior Airman Bob Devisser spent eight years in the Marines. After his enlistment ended, he took a break to focus on spending time with family and a small business, but he found his way back into uniform shortly thereafter.
21 KALAMAZOO, Mich. With dreams of becoming a pilot, one Michigan National Guard (MING) Soldier is taking advantage of the National Guard Minuteman Scholarship while attending the Army’s ROTC program at Western Michigan University (WMU).
Born and raised in the Detroit metropolitan area, Army ROTC Cadet Carly Ness has always had a love for flying with aspirations of becoming a pilot.
“My grandfather owns two airplanes and I grew up around them,” she said. “I am completely fascinated by airplanes and it turned into a big passion of mine.”
“To pursue my major in aviation flight science while serving in the National Guard feels like I’m returning to my roots, like everything has come full circle,” said Ness.
