So, I'm 19 years old and majoring in engineering. I plan to get my degree first before joining the army. I will be done in about two years.
However, after finishing my degree, I want to join the Army. My questions are:
1) How long do I have to serve. I have heard some people say two years, while others say eight years. I want to go to medical school eventually, so I don't want to spend too long in the Army.
2) What is the Individual Ready Reserve?
3) If I join the Army, what MOS's are available to me?
4) I am an Arab-American who was in Kuwait when the US kicked Saddam out, so I want to give something back to the US. I love this country and its ideals -- however, I don't feel our current political leadership lives up to its ideals. What is it like in the Army for liberals/non-Republicans? I have heard all sorts of things, like the army is super-conservative. Can any enlisted soldiers tell me what it is like in the Army politically?
Thank you so much!
