- Hey guys!
Really struggling with words in the video today, but wanted to post anyways...
Just a short part two to the Active Duty vs. Guard/Reserves video I made.
While the reserves and national guard are very similar, there are some details and differences that are important to consider before choosing your path. I've written an article that explains in detail a bit better on my website. You can learn more at www.militarybottomline.com.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks dude
My pleasure!
Love the content. Prior vet myself
Thanks brother!
My husband did 7 1/2 years in the army first 3 years full time then last 4 years in the reserves. Did deploy overseas once. He has a job now fixing air conditioners but his hours are getting cut all the time. If he decides to join the national guard which does not require international deployment is it like the reserves. Or its full time. I want him to get a full time job. Thank you Hope to hear from someone soon. My husband is a little out of shape now compared to 7 years ago when he just got out of the army. He doesn't want to go back because of the physical fitness. He 36 right now.
The guard can still deploy you overseas. Definitely be careful with that expectation.
While there are full time opportunities in the guard, the obligation is for part time (one weekend a month, two weeks a year), once he's in, he will have to pursue the full time positions.
@@jasonburds Thank you so much. Just subscribed to your Awesome. Truly appreciate the response.
Thank you! Happy to help in any way!
In terms of tuition assistant, Will joining the national guard after active duty and using the state's education assistant affect Montgomery GI Bill?
No it should not. Watch some of my other videos and see if that answers your questions.
It doesn't. You can use your GI Bill for tuition and also use the state offered financial aid. It should get kicked back to you. So the state aid will go directly into your pocket because your Post9/11 GI Bill is covering 100% of the tuition of college.
@chickenstrangler3826 if you can use the state national guard waiver and it pays full, then do that. Then you can get the post 9/11 straight to your bank account or transfer it to your kid. The guard grant isn't payable out to cash like the gi bill as far as I know.
Is it true that that the Army reserves do not have combat MOS’s ? Because that would also be a big deciding factor for some I know it was for me as far as choosing between the Guard and Reserves. Thanks
I understand the guard to have the majority of the combat MOSs. But I can't confirm the reserves having zero.
Reserves are not combat arms . National guard does. I know this is late but thought I’d answer your question !
Reserves only have one combat arms unit and it is in Hawaii I think.
The National guard is federal and State,The reserves is just Federal
Accurate
I’m looking to join the Air Force , but I do not know if I should go into the guard or reserves. I plan on becoming a cop as well. What is the best option for a full time college student ? I want to be more involved in the air force.
Hey John, sounds like you have a lot of thoughts going through your head. With the limited info given, it sounds like both guard or reserves could be good for you, but surely with more info on your goals a more optimal route will make itself known. I am happy to jump on a call with you sometime and discuss further if you'd like. Have you listened to any of the podcast episodes? I think there are several that could help give you better insight.
@@jasonburds I would be honored to have a call with you to discuss more. And no, but I will definitely look into your podcasts!
Let's set up a time. Shoot me an email at militarybottomline@gmail.com
The vast majority of people would be better off going reserve/guard. AD is not worth it IMO.
Depends what your goals are. But joining the right guard unit can be the best deal as far as benefits go for sure. Reserves is kinda active duty lite. I think that's the worst option really.
What’s the better route? Marine reserves or army national gaurd? I don’t mind deployments and I’ve heard that national gaurd sees more action and you can be deployed at airports etc as state security forces. Need help deciding… also what translates better into the civilian world in terms of MOS?
Is it true you after 20 yrs you can collect retirement at 60? I have 4 yrs of AD, so I would need 16 more years and start collecting at 56?
Yes and no. Your 4 years of active duty will count towards a larger point balance -
think larger pension, but it does not knock 4 years off the 60 for when you can collect your pension. I believe the only way to get it earlier is to accumulate deployed time in the guard/reserves.
How many years do you have to do as AD before you get to transfer as a NG?
It depends. If you get a "palace chasing" deal, you could get away with 2 years of AD and finish it off with NG.
I see that reserve doesn’t have any special forces but the national guard does? If that’s correct could I try out for the sf in the ng after basic and ait? With no prior military service ?
Have you already enlisted? Might take a little longer to get there, but check out this link

I have not I just took the practice test and passed it
@@limacharliesf9 perfect. Head to the recruiters and tell them you want to join for SF. Looks like it's possible from off the street.
Right now I’m just trying to figure out the benefits and pay and bonuses of the NG vs the reserve I’m not to concerned with college. Its more so the pay and health benefits for my child.
@@jasonburds I’m stuck between the 2 solely based on health care benefits for my child and is the pay the same as reserve ?
do you have a link to that article you wrote?
Yessir!

Thank you!
@@MrMR-sk8jm thanks for watching and checking out the site! It's all a work in progress, but here to help any way I can!
Thanks dude! What if I marry a non US citizen person, does the Army reserve help to bring my spouse to here?
Not that I am aware of. You will go through the same process as any other American marrying someone from another country.
So if you join national guard or reserve, do you have to stay stuck where you currently reside? I live in Puerto Rico, but I don't see myself living here forever but I also wanna get more information on both before commiting to one.
While you do sign a contract, it is common to do interservice transfers (going from one guard/reserve unit to another) or conditional releases (going from one branch to another). There are lots of options. It's far more flexible than civilians typically envision.
@@jasonburds thank you very much, is there a video or somewhere i could possibly get more info on this apart from a recruiter?
@@HergayisMora I don't have a video on that, but it would be a good topic for me to cover. I'll add it to the list. I would just do some googling.
@@jasonburds much appreciated. Thank you
I'm in Utah. Should I join Utah NG or reserves?
Depends why you want to join. Education benefits? Military job?
@@jasonburds ive already got a masters but need help with student loans. Not sure why someone would join one over the other
@@jasonburds I'm looking for a job that could make me money right out of ait
@@hannibalthe1st565 the guard has not combat related jobs, slightly different benefits (mostly education). If the goal is to pay down student loans, I would talk to both and see which has a bigger bonus available. Then compare between enlisting for the bonus or commissioning for the higher pay.
@@hannibalthe1st565 go talk to both and tell them you're interested in the largest sign on bonus.
What r u in?
I started active duty Marines and now I'm in the guard.
@@jasonburds has the guard ever went to active abroad.
@@aperez6775 yes. The guard still does overseas deployment rotations.
@@jasonburds so no matter what . if i sign up for national guard . Im going over seas?
@@aperez6775 there are no guarantees in life. I've been in the military in different capacity's for 10 years and I've never been overseas on deployment. I even volunteered twice!
Not every overseas deployment is to the middle east either. There are a lot of humanitarian and other reasons to go around the world also.
Let me know if you want to chat via zoom sometime. I'll answer as many questions as I can.
"The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service. He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -Albert Einstein
Thanks boss.
