    I was active duty for 5 years when I ETSed out the army into the reserve it was a nightmare. I know the NG and reserve are a bit different but very close. I was that if I didn't like the reserve within the first year I could go IRR. When I spoke to S1 they said it wasn't possible. I went back to my outprcessing NCO and told him about it and he said I was correct. I was so pissed off I stopped showing up to drill after one year. They sent me my paperwork and I was out in the IRR. What I learned during my time in the army is that shit is so unorganized and they lose a shit ton of paperwork.

Which covers full tuition and books. Post 9/11 is an additional benefits a soldier can use if they qualify.

For full benefits, 36 months of service is required.

    I won't dogpile on this Service Member's video like a lot of others are. My personal experience with the Guard is that they make promises that they can't fulfill. I spent over two years waiting for a blood pressure waiver before 9/11, with multiple Recruiters telling me it was submitted, then their replacements insisting they had no record of such. "Resubmit." I went Active Duty, retired after 21 years, and am enjoying life now in my mid-40s, not having to wait another 10+ years for retirement pay to kick in. As a Recruiter, I witnessed ARNG Recruiters telling the same lies to Applicants. Basically, if you're disqualified for a reason that may be waiverable in the future, they'll keep you in their pocket. I knew a few high school students who talked like they were in the Guard, so I left them alone, only to find out months later that they were being baited along with promises of going to MEPS to sign their contract each month.
    SPC Kellum has his Air Assault Badge, which is a sign that he's squared away. Even with the state-run Regional Training Institutes, it's hard to get special qualifications in the Guard. I did Air Assault at Fort Campbell back in '04 and we had a few Guard Soldiers there who were only able to attend because they were mobilized on federal orders. The state funds all schools otherwise, so if you want to be an Airborne Ranger (qualified, not scrolled), you're best off going Active.
    I will say that ARNG Trainees have an edge on their peers in BCT or OSUT. As a Senior Drill Sergeant, I saw the benefits of the Recruit Sustainment Program over even the Future Soldier Program which I supervised over the last two years of my time as a Recruiter.

    Just go active. It's 4 years, and it's a unique experience you won't get anywhere else. I also recommend doing something that is exclusively army related. If you can do it as a civillian you'll almost certainly be paid more to do it as a civillian, and won't have to put up with as many dumb rules. Might as well do something that you can't do anywhere else.

    And the guard won't release you until you finish your full contract if you use any college benefits. You were one of the lucky ones to be released from Massachusetts. From the guard period.
    Switching to Active duty is again extremely hard. Have to be released from NG. Biggest and most told lie from the guard

  • @Junior-do1rq

    WRONG! You can become a resident any time however to get instate tuition you need to have been a resident for a year in most places. It is up to the university if they will give you tuition at the in state rate before the year mark due to your military affiliation. They sometimes will and sometimes won’t that’s the real answer.

    I know everyone's experience is diff but I was in 2 diff Nevada Guard units and hated it. Almost everyone is fat and useless, you got 40 yo SPC's walking around because progression is ass, NCO's try to act like DS's because that 1 weekend a month is the only time they have anything going for them and they let the littlest bit of power go to their head. Most drill weekends consisted of online certs/classes, layouts and sitting around waiting for 1900. Went Active after my first contract and it was the best decision I've ever made. Guard is good for those seeking tuition thats pretty much it.

    None, the Guard has less promotion potential as slots are by the State. You also can move to another state without having to deal with being stuck in the Guard for the state you joined in.. go on tell them
