First I want to say HELLO to EVERYONE !!!!!! I haven't posted in a very long time due to school/work and work, and work, and work/school issues (lol). I missed being here as I will try to frequent more often.

I hope everyone is healthy, safe, and fine under the circumstances in which we are all living in now.


Actually, the money is not that great (I was and somewhat still am considering the Reserves as an "addition" to a career option). My recruiter is on point. But unfortunately not all of them are. In some branches, it's a numbers game and the more recruits signed up, the more rewards for that recruiter. For full time enlistees (those primarily w/o college background) and those that attend OTS or Officers Training School (those w/a college background), everything is basically paid for (free of charge), room, board, "work clothing", and as far as the money for college is concerned, that person has to pay into it for up to a year before they can receive any benefits. So it's important to read into the fine print.

However, everything begins with research. There are plenty of sites available to let one know what they can expect, from graduating BMT (or bootcamp) to jobs/careers and benefits and even the monthly pay rate.

If one has an open and honest Recruiter, than they will be told the truth. It is an oath that they are taking to defend America against all enemies (whoever the "Powers that be" deem) foreign and domestic.....with their LIFE and that is something else.
