Duty Handicap

Active Military or College?

I'm currently in the Army National Guard. I'm 18, MOS is 11B (Infantry)and is waiting AIT. The Question I'm asking is... what is the better option.... Going to College while still in the National Guard or Just go Active Duty.

Reasons why i want to go to Active.
Economy's Bad, Can't find a job, Steady paycheck, Travel, Seeing the world in a different view.

Reason why I want to go to College...
Family issues, Help mom and dad and handicap nephew (has cerbal palsy), Getting an education, seeing the same people, Going to Drill, Living with Mom and Dad and caring for them practically...

Opinions... Nice one please!!!

Not sure anyone can really answer this for you but I can tell you my path.

I joined the Navy right out of high school and did four years active duty. In that time I did 2 six month Mediterranean cruises, saw a dozen countries and earned the GI Bill.

After my four years, I got out, got a degree. Now I am back in as a reserve officer and am an electrical engineer at a nuclear power plant.

To be honest, I think that enlisting after high school was the best thing I could have done and has really set me up for success.

Good Luck!
