I'm enlisting in the Va ARNG. Is this the best choice? The ARNG site states I will get a 20k enlistment bonus for enlisting as a 31b on top of my drill pay, tuition assistance, and GI Bill benefits. Va also offers a state tuition benefit of up to 3k per year above the federal education benefits. It says I will get "Full medical through Worker's Comp" on the state benefits site @ http://www.1800goguard.com/VA/index.php. What does that mean? Also, I have a GED diploma and 70 college credit hours (will have ~90 at end of semester). Will I go in as E-3?
Would it be a better idea to wait until I graduate to enlist? I know you can go OCS with a B.S. degree but I wanted enlisted experience (and the bonus) first. Do I have the option of going OCS after enlisting? Also, I scored a 93 on the Navy ASVAB, will I have to take the ASVAB again?
Also, the ARNG has a program that will delay deployment for up to 2yrs while you finish school. Would this include graduate school as well? Thanks
