From the time they are quite young, most children dream about what they want to be when they grow up. Some know from an early age exactly what career paths interest them. Others change their minds repeatedly until entering college, or even beyond. One honorable path which is chosen by thousands each and every day is U.S. military service.

The benefits of military service are many. Training, honor, travel, discipline, and service to our country are but a few of the advantages. In addition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill provides those serving in the military with all in-state tuition and fees for higher education. But, along with these rewards come the requirements of self-discipline, sacrifice, and commitment. Deciding to join the military is a tremendous decision, which requires careful consideration and the support of family and friends.

When considering military service, one major decision is selecting active duty or reserves. Active duty means serving full time during the entire length of service, in a way which is similar to having a full-time job. Being part of a reserve unit is similar to having a part-time jobit gives you the opportunity to continue a civilian life and career and then serve your country during times when your experiences are needed. Either option includes the possibility of deployment.
