Correct. Howver, were not talking about draftees. The NG is, and always has been, an all volunteer, CITIZEN MILITIA force. During the draft, you got two choices: 1) Army, or 2) USMC. Until W., the NG was "civil defense" only.
Had an Uncle who decided to go into the Guard instead of risking getting drafted and he spent his whole guard career INCONUS. No NG units were ever deployed during Vietnam and no draftees were given the choice of Guard Membership at the he time of their drafting. It was ALWAYS either the Active Duty Army or USMC.
