If you score well on the test and get a good job they Pay around 60k now for tuition up to a master’s degree and then you get benefits on top of the assistance to help

It's against the law to fail someone because of missing class for drill lol

The national guard you have to wait a year to use tuition assistance. The reserves you can use it immediately

Who told you that. Plus, in the guard you get state benefits. I used the federal benefits after I signed up and before I went to BCT/AIT. Then after AIT, I used the state benefits which covered all my school costs. You sound like an Army Reserve recruiter.

Love your personality ! ☺️Great Video

He is hilarious with these curse words 😂😂😂😂

Good advice! To add, when a disaster such as a hurricane strikes, you will get pulled out your class as a guardsman. The reservist will be checking in with his unit just by using a website. Did both and the Reserves is, by far, a better opportunity for all career progressions.

I served 7 years in the guard and was never activated for state duty. Plus in my state NJ, tuition is waived for guardsmen at state colleges. Much better than the 4500 tuition assistance you get in the reserves. As for promotion, the reserves is nice because your not bound by your state. However, some guard units and MOSs have wide open promotion potential.

I'm having a hard time understanding why the army/reserves has specific MOS's that qualify for SLRP when they give everyone the GI Bill regardless of which MOS you choose.

Hi Jason, thanks for making these videos, I got a question about the annual tour part of being a reservist or guardsmen. If a reservist is a student in a program that has summer classes will the reserves or guard work with them on finding the best time to go on the annual tour, or will the reservist have to forego summer classes if it clashes with the unit's annual tour?

from NYC, graduating from a private university in early may with massive loans to pay back. thinking about nypd or army/guard resreves. how generous will the army be?

Hey Jason what's up. Appreciate your Videos man I just wanted to know what you can recommend for me the national guard or the army reserves in my situation. I'm 29 have an okay job married have one son he's 6 and have a daughter on the way. I really want those educational benefits so I can become a better provider for my family but I am worried about the 6 yr contracts and I don't want to be that much apart from my fam. Much respect man.

I want to join, I’m nervous with how the fuck to get started with this whole thing.

How are medical jobs in the reserves?

The military brass quietly imposed a regulation denying increased educational benefits, under the post 9-11 GI Bill in 2012., for Guard and Reserve members called up. Before then, anyone deployed as short as 3 months (other than Initial Active Duty for Training) qualified for some Post 9-11 benefits. For example 3 months was 40% of tuition, and housing allowance. Not any more, unless legislation now pending in congress corrects this. Anyone considering joining the Reserves or Guard needs to seriously reconsider. See link to article. taskandpurpose.com/reservists-deploy-receive-fewer-benefits-pentagon-withholds-gi-bill/

Thank you !!!!!!

I know in some states with the national guard you get state and federal benefits right? And the reserve gi bill only pays up to 11 thousand if I remember correctly so having some of those state benefits would be beneficial.

Hi are you still in the reserves

There is one thing you didn't mention it sounds relatively small but when you do the math it's a big difference. Going to college while in the USAR they will pay the tuition but the ARNG gives you a waiver for both tuition and fees as well as a monthly pay for books or do whatever the hell you want with it it's america. one thing to keep in mind that my boy up there forget to mention as well is that the ARNG benefits are not the same in every states while the USAR it's the same thing everywhere you go.

First of all, the Army Reserves National Guard "ARNG" 2 days drill weekend in the month are Saturday and Sunday which definitely is going to be in your state meaning the Thursday Friday is straight up "BS" but the 2 weeks over the summer, is not always in your state and yes sometimes you might be out for 3 to 4 weeks not it not really depends on your unit but mostly on what types of drill they're doing, and it also happen in USAR, 2nd thing to take in consideration is the fact that the Army Reserves doesn't have combat MOS while the ARNG does. 3rd if you contact your unit prior to drill weekend you can make it before or after that weekend as long as you have a valid rational let's you have finals, or funeral etc they will let u make it up but say you have have an Xbox competition with your friends that's not a valid reason for missing drill.

@TheJasonYamamoto

TA pays you $4500 per year in courses. Most colleges will give you a military discount on top of that. The money will go straight to the school but you have to pass your class with a C or higher or they'll stop paying for your college. You can apply a pell grant and receive about $4000-6000 per year. With your minimal pay in the reserves, $200-300 per month for drill dates and $1400 per annual training. You'll make about $5,240 per year total. 5240 + 4000 or 6000, you'll make about 9240 to 11240 per year. That's about $936 per month. Pretty simple for a single person to live off of and that's IF you don't have a part time job. I think that's pretty good gig in my opinion and literally 1/4 of the bullshit. Now if you want to go active duty for 3 years and get the full GI bill and stop there, the GI Bill will cover your school and books and then you can pursue your bachelors degree without any distractions. It really all depends on what YOU want and how much you're willing to go through the BS.

If you want to go to college, join the Army National Guard. You get all the benefits of the Army Reserves in the guard. Plus, you get additional state benefits.

Also if the Army Medical Corps recruiter doesn't tell you everything you want to hear my best advice is that before you sign in... GO TO EVERY BRANCH RECRUITER FOR MEDICAL CORPS. Medical corps are different and in very high demand in every branch. You might get more from another branch but go for the one that pays you the more towards your medical degree.In every branch, physicians have it differently than the rest of the force... that's a fact.

Dude you make no sense. First I was in both the Guard and Reserve. The Guard has the most benefits for college tuition. The Guard you get can 100 percent tuition depending on state (waived fee), 4,500 Federal TA, 372 GI Bill Stipend, and 350 kicker. The Reserves you only get up to 4,500 per year towards your college, 372 GI Bill, and 350 Kicker. Note in the Reserves you can't collect both the Federal TA and stipends. Its one or the other, please explain that? With the Reserves as well if you fail a class you have to pay back your money for college. The Guard does not always to 3 or 4 day weekends, if they did, they are flexible enough to let you split to make up a drill date so you don't miss class. Overall, you need to do more research when making your claims. Statistically, your are more than likely to come out with student loans vs the Guard. Also, with the Reserve you have no say in your stationed unit. So if I wanted to be near my school of choice I would have a better opportunity with the Guard because they are larger and have more units per state. The Guard also has combat arms which the Reserves do not.
