Okay so Im in EMT school now but when im done with tht i am going to go into the military an be a combat medic or something in the medic feild...

should i go Navy or National Guard

What are your reasons for wanting to join?

Well for one its alway been something Iv wanted to do.. I dont mind going over seas if thats wht the job calls for.. and 2 i want to go to RN school and my parents really dont have the money

Is one of the two choices going to get you where you want to be quicker than the other?

well do you want

what the navy has to offer

or what the nat guard has to offer

do you want land based or water based (possibility)

how can another tell you which is best for you??

good luck in your decision

and

may much good come your way

you can always get a government grant

yeah I know its a tough desicion..
the NG offers 100% tution the GI bill and GI Kicker and 20g sign on bonus
but id only be working 1 a month ya know and id prolly be in iraq pretty quick too

wheres as navy id be full time more monthly income and id still get the GI bill
hmmm

this is stressing me out

That was another question U was going to ask, are you ready if called upon to go to war?

I mean yeah I dont mind going to Iraq which i know is where ill be haded if i go National Guard expecially if Im a meic id prolly be put on a team with the Marines or something

How long are you talking about signing up for, 4 years?

They make a good point. If you join the National Guard you actually get payed more and better and the college fund is alot more. since they give you 100% tuition that means you get the GI Bill and GI Kicker for pocket money and you also can get a taste of the military life. that way you know if you like it or hate it. I know you and I have talked about this many times before and you dont seem to wanna listen to me but I am telling you the truth and the marines are pigs. no offence if their are any on this site. Call me if you decide that you wanna know more about the National Guard. And I am telling everyone the NG gets payed more then active.

Well I spent a few years in the Army so let me see if I can help you out. First of all ...all branches of the military have a national guard, or reserve. The thing is, if you want to be a combat medic, the best thing is Army. You could go active, guard or reserve. If you join the navy, you will be a medic for the Marines, as the Marines do not have their own medics, whether you go active, guard or reserves. If you want to work in a hospital, go Air Force, again either active, guard or reserves...hope that helps.

Actually this is not true in all states, as a matter of fact ...very few do it, and its a program that is slowly being phased out.

of those 2 i would say Navy, but, why not think of working an a trama hospital, they need good drs.
Good luck,
Marge
