If he's interested in National Guard, make sure he talks to the Air National Guard recruiters also. The Oklahoma Air National Guard is an excellent choice for anyone considering a military reserve enlistment.
I started as active duty Army (4 years) then Army Reserve (1 year) and spent the rest of my 22 years Air National Guard (including some more active duty time). Nothing against the Army, it was good to me, but in my opinion he'll have a better chance at developing marketable skills through Air Force training. And the weekend drills are rarely boring; the Air Guard partners closely with the active Air Force with members often actual mission work for their training.
