SAR is Hard to Give Up!

Booted out at 75???

Now there's an idea for the U.S. Congress!!!!

Yeah, but they can be appointed to the Senate at 30, and never face anything so mundane as an election.

Delaware Army National Guard? D.A.N.G.!

I think they picked up on that.  That's why they abbreviate the Air Guard as DEANG and the Army Guard as ARNGDE

Just like California does with CAANG and CAARNG or Texas with TXANG/TXARNG.
All of the states do it that way, probably because the NGB directed them to do it for standardization.

You did not have to explain.

The bureau probably picked the state and PR's postal abbreviations. The easiest way, no need to reinvent the wheel.

But D.A.N.G. surely sounds nice for a tongue-in-cheek barb.

When some joke in here, most seem to laugh. When others joke along the same vein, they are treated as if they do not know what they are talking about!

All the NGs do it that way to reduce confusion and create a standard.  After all, CARNG could mean California, Colorado, or Connecticut.
