Just curious as I've been talking to many recruiters lately. Specifically, Army National Guard, Air National Guard/Reserves, and Naval Reserves.
The Air Force Reserves is out of the question. I have 2 DUIs from when I was younger. I know I need a waiver and they said they wouldn't do it. However, the other options said they would get me a waiver if I wanted to join.
My question is what are the factors one should look at when deciding on a branch to serve? My main goal out of all of this is to become a better person. I want to serve my country but also earn a degree so education benefits are very important to me.
I've been to a bunch of different websites but I still don't see much of a difference between them except maybe the jobs offered at each individual base. I was thinking of going for a career in engineering. I am currently enrolled in Electrical Engineering at a local tech college.
