[QUOTE="blksnke2, post: 15238046, member: 85870"] Regardless of what branch or component he joins, basic training usually helps straighten people out by teaching core values, discipline, teamwork, respect, etc. In the Army National Guard (dual federal and state mission, funded by the state), he would get to complete his drill weekends at the closest post to home and receive top notch benefits (health care, education, etc.), but would also have to do some kind of civilian work the other 28 days of the month to make money. If he enlisted into the Active Duty (federal mission, full time) component of the Army, he would have a steady paying full-time job with all the great benefits military members earn, but the Army gets to tell him where he lives. There are bases, posts, and forts all over the world. Military members earn a pay raise every 2 years and with every rank promotion, regardless of branch/component. Keep in mind there is also an Army Reserve component as well (federal mission, but similar setup as the National Guard). I would encourage your son to do as much research as possible on goarmy.com and any of the other branches' websites about the benefits and career choices. I guarantee that whatever interests him, the military offers it as a job. I hope this helps at least a little bit. I get excited when I hear people wanting to join the military. [/QUOTE]
