Senior Airman Nichole Reng-Caudle, a weather forecaster with the 164th Weather Flight, 121st Air Refueling Wing, shares her story about why she joined the Air National Guard. “I joined the Guard because I was going to Ohio State University, and about halfway through my degree, I was pretty broke and needed the education benefits I knew I could get from the Guard. I had heard about the Ohio National Guard Scholarship Program, and I knew I could get college completely paid for, so I went to enlist,” said Reng-Caudle.
