What’s your MOS?

Let me give you a protip. Go AGR. Trust me. Go into basic, hopefully you have a good AIT/MOS that can transfer into an AGR position.

Do your one or two years as a drilling reservist, get a good few ncoers, and a few letters of recommendation, and apply to the army reserve AGR program. If not, switch to National Guard and do their AGR program. Trust me. It’s the best, and biggest scam of the entire military

Hi anon. Serious answer here. I seriously considered doing this, but I got engaged so ended up not. For the benefits you can get, it's not a bad idea. Especially if you have no family obligations and afford to be gone for boot camp and a few weekends. Your employer legally can't fire you for doing this either. Now, you don't get the same benefits as active duty, but they would still help you. I don't think you'll be going to war anytime soon, to be honest. Even if you do, do good enough on the ASVAB so you aren't infantry.
