The Army Reserves

[Deleted member 37754]

ive actually been talkin to my boy about going in. i have a 5 year old son and id be doing PT (10 weeks) and MP (12 weeks) training. I have him all the time, mom has him on the weekends.she not good people for him to be around. but ive been wanting to be a cop (swat) for the longest but in the bay theyve been laying people off for the last 4 years. its been real ugly. So this may be the route im taking.

I don't know much about the national guard but is it similar to the army reserve ?

only thing different is National Guard serves for the State....and the Reserves are pretty much back-ups for Active Duty.....but from what i'm hearing National Guard and Reserves get deployed more than Active.

But thats what I hear

Your risk of being shipped off increases when you enlist, compared to not being enlisted thats for sure.

If you are nervous about getting enlisted I don't think you should go do it. My friends have told me all the stories about how he knew a dude that got post traumatic stress.
