Main difference is that one is Federal - Reserves and the other is State - National Guard
Similarities
In addition to having the same drill requirements, members of both guard components and all five reserve components have other similarities. All wear the uniform of their respective service. All members of the same rank and years of service receive the same pay, which is based on active-duty pay prorated to reflect their part-time service. Both the guard and reserve members can be activated or mobilized to support federal military actions abroad. Members typically report to locations near their homes, allowing them to commute to drills rather than move. New recruits without prior military experience must attend basic military training, regardless of whether they are joining the reserves or the guard.
Differences
The primary difference between the guard and reserve components lies in the command. Reserve units are part of the federal armed forces, and as such they are under presidential command. Guard units are organized on the state level, and the governor can call them to service in response to civil riots or natural disasters. The president has the power to federalize guard troops, if needed, but a governor has no control over reserve units. The only other notable difference is in the benefits. Although members of both the guard and reserve receive the same federal benefits, individual states can offer additional benefits for members of its guard. For example, Oklahoma pays the full tuition for its Air National Guard members who attend a state university or college, while Alabama limits tuition assistance to $1,000 per year. Alabama exempts only the military retirement benefits from state income tax, while Oklahoma exempts $1,500 for current guardsmen and $5,500 for retired guardsmen.

While it is nice of you to offer a selected gift to stranger, you seem to be going about it "the hard way." I suggest that next time, if you are unsure how to use the site, you contact Support for assistance. We can help you figure out what you want to do and how you can use the site to go about doing it.
Also, it seems as though English may not be your first language. May I ask what is?

I've posted a comment on your blog (hoping I'm not too late)
That's a very nice initiative and I can only salute the gesture. Thanks for being so generous.

The "(make sure it is on sale on December 1,2015)" was a little confusing, I guess that was the original date and it had to be pushed to November 20 since you need to get ready for the National Guard.
Thanks a lot for the chance and good luck to you too in your next endeavors!
