The military stuff is accurate to a point.
Maybe Hallmark did not intend to make a movie about the National Guard, or possibly Army Reserve, but they seem to have done so. Of course the reenlistment options seem to be for active duty assignments but they were available to Reservists during the war.
If the 1SG is a National Guard or Army Reserve soldier he could be stationed in Connecticut. However, he would have to be on active duty status to get terminal leave. So, the military stuff is accurate to a point. He is wearing a Reserve overseas training ribbon so the military advisor in this film knew their stuff.
Leaving the service, even for a Reservist, is terrifying and there should be a lot of reticence about the choice. This movie captures that well.
