My son is considering joining the National Guard as a reservist. I am interested in any advise or insight or experiences anyone might have to share about this responsibility/opportunity. I understand they are typically only deployed in the US, but that in recent years many have been deployed to support the regular army in the middle east. I am also interested in knowing more about educational benefits of joining in terms of payment of student and parent plus loans. Like, will they pay off loans already taken out? The website mentions student loans and parent plus loans, and also that instate public school tuition is covered but I wasn't clear on whether they will retroactively cover loans the student has already incurred. My son is 20 and a sophomore in college, taking a break. He is considering joining the reserves, working part time and also going to school part-time - possibly taking online courses in case he is deployed, so he wouldn't have to drop out. Any thoughts?
Have you served in the National Guard?
