Hello, im in south Texas, 21, married, bachelors in organizational leadership (3.5 gpa), 93 on asvab, and I just passed MEPS (no waivers). I’m talking with my recruiter to go the officer route but I’m not 100% sold on the guard yet. I’m currently making $15/hr at a dealership taking pictures and it’s really hard to get a job that pays more without having a different type of degree (ik my degree is kinda useless but still).

The only other branch I’m thinking about doing is active air force but I would want to go in enlisted, not even gonna try to do officer in the air force. I started processing with the guard originally because in my head I was going to complete BCT, OCS, and when I get to my unit try to go active guard or just deploy a lot. Was really considering doing OLS but I have no idea on whether I would even be able to get in, or how the process would work for me. My recruiter said he could get me to do a virtual enlistment by the end of next week, instead of driving 4 hours to San Antonio.

I’m just looking for some advice on what would yall do in my shoes.

Hello, I’m 21 with a bachelors in organizational leadership. I need help deciding whether to join the guard vs active duty army. I’m married and in my area all the jobs that my degree opens up for me requires at least 3 years+ of experience in that field and I have 0 experience in that field. Im open to both officer and enlisted. The only reason I’m considering joining the guard is so I can go back to school for my masters/a different degree lol.
