Answer 1

First God bless your sense of duty and country. It is not an easy choice and unlike some who have answered, and don't seem to respect anyone else’s freedom of choice, you are asking the right questions. With regard to what you do after going through Basic Training and AIT (Advanced Individual Training) you will be assigned to your permanent duty station. Depending on what sort of MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) you select you could have almost a 7:00 am to 3:00 pm job. These type jobs are referred to as "Rear Echelon", "Depot Maintenance" or "Support Services". Some times these types of jobs go to the field for training exercises and some jobs by nature just can not go to the field. Ask lots of questions. Some job like "Combat Arms" and "Combat Support" are usually in the field a great deal training for -- Combat.... There are a great deal of educational opportunities, again ask questions, lots of questions. While I was in I received my bachelors in engineering and after I got out I got my Masters. If I am asked about the entire experience, I would tell you this. I was a young man from the wrong side of the tracks, I was a wise ***, who only lived to party in the first three semesters of college, having to work as a mechanic at night to support myself. I was burning out and wasting away. The Army knocked me back on my feet, gave me the guidance and direction. The Army trained me in a field that I was able to translate into a great career the civilian job market. The Army gave me a quality education that has provided me with a very nice and comfortable life. Over all my time in the Army was great and the life it helped me to make later is even better.
Good luck, and remember to ask a lot of questions.

Talk to all the recruiters, not just army. Each branch has different college incentives. If you do decide to join, make sure you get any bonuses or incentive in writing before you sign. Choose the College fund for that branch. College fund is extra money aside from Montgomery G.I. Bill for college. No you won't have to take SAT again. I have an AA degree and didn't need to take the SAT, I can continue on for a BA just have my AA stuff carry over towards the BA. Currently all branches have what's call TA (Tuition Assistance) it pays 100% of tuition for you to get your college classes in. You also get a SMART transcript, it will convert any military training into college points. With a SMART transcript a college will evaluate your training and experience and determine how many college credits you get towards a degree. After 13 years I only needed to take 4 college classes to get my AA. Just remember to get any jobs or bonus or incentives in writing or the promises don't mean a thing.

Answer 3

some years in the past, beginning after WWII and going although the Vietnam conflict, mendacity to recruits wasn't unprecedented and a small team of recruiter did fudge on the reality, on occasion. and of path the media, who have been and are nevertheless in particular liberal, jumped throughout that like flies on sh*t and ran with it saying that the great militia weren't something yet bunch of liars. long tale short the militia imposed some stiff disciplinarian action against reported recruiters and have turn the prepare of stretching the reality right into a punishable offense. So, as for what you have been informed you could take by using fact the reality.

Answer 4

See an Army Recruiter first, take the practice test, ask if you are qualified for FSR2S. If you are, have him print one out and ask the other branches to do the same. If they can't, walk away. If you do not qualify for FSR2S, take whatever any branch can give you, you are either not very smart, not very qualified and your civilian career prospects will even be lower.

Answer 5

First, work on your grammar. You could always just join the reserves while you go to college. If so, the Army is your best bet for college money, but you will have to work for it. Nothing is free. You will get deployed and you will do the job you are paid to do. Your country comes before your college, remember that.
