I wouldn't mind staying infantry because I loved it then but I've heard horror stories about doing absolutely nothing on drill as 11B and I really want my training and National Guard experience to count for something in the civilian side of things. Any advice on this topic in specifics or any advice in general about going from active to national guard would be appreciated.

you likely don't want this, however, USMC PLC is lesser known than ROTCs, I just didn't know if you'd known about it at all....

If you'd want psych clinical.at all, you can go USPHS then do 3 yr tours with Army, Navy, and/or USAF, as well, look at this also, OK?

Here are the USPHS COSTEP sites, they have a toll free, Call them, it's active though, not Reserve, I'd chatted with a physician who'd been dual USPHS Inactive Reserve, as well as NY state defense forces (SDF), the NY Guard (NYG), he'd been most unusual, I'd never known how he'd done that, though I'd known for sure he did....

If you'd want clinical and to go commissioned, look at USPHS seriously, I'd wanted it really badly, they'd had a Reserve allowed by Congress, then canceled, look at their Jr and Sr COSTEP, their analogues to ROTCs, which like ROTCs, can also be used for grad school as well, I'm fairly sure....

Those sites I'd sent are the immediately obv ones that occur to me for now...certainly, knowing more of your specific inclinations, I might be able to suggest more, of course, as well,.obv, as I'd said, certainly....

I'd very nearly done USAFR IMA a long while back, I frequently kick myself I didnt, I'm total perm disabled, I just couldn't for myriad reasons, though IMA might be another thing to consider, certainly...whether Army or other svc, of course...other svcs besides USAFR, I don't know as much about, is assume they must exist, at the very least, ya know?

I'd never gone Guard or Reserve, as I'm total perm disabled, I merely thought, in reading what you'd asked that knowing more specifics might help all of us try to at least just suggest stuff, honest...assocs, bach, masters or other grad level, majors, grades, GPAs, hobbies, reading tastes, other interests, volunteering stuff, sports esp any martial arts, honest any outside work done, as to at least general type and/or level, whether supervisory at all if any civilian work at all...not specifics on all of that, just sufficiently specific generalities to give all here an idea of your turn of mind...any flight interests, whether you'd want senior enlisted, warrant, commissioned, going back to school, if so what level and for what possible range of majors, any teaching inclinations, interests in law enforcement, possibly having looked at AGR, Guard Tech, Reserve Tech, possibly going intersvc to one of their Reserves, just some thoughts of course...I have an interest in such career/educ threads, those are the kinds of soecifics, even if kept only general, I typically suggest on seeing such questions as what you'd asked, honest, if you'd ever care to chat, is be most interested in hearing more, I've been able to suggest a good many things others in here often haven't considered, when changing in that fashion, I and the others here might well be able to do as much for you, we're we to know more, at least of the type of stuff I'd listed, so far as you might care to describe and/or.elaborate, honest, no rush, if course, whenever you'd want, OK?

I found this awhile back for rotary wing prep, download, print, and study it, one other on here said he'd found it of use for the SIFT exam...a family friend had been Army enlisted, he went Army WOCS for rotary wing, got his bach in aviation from Embry Riddle, Army released him, USCG picked him up, he finished as a USCG O-3 rotary wing pilot, trust me, look at this, definitely, OK?

Would you want combat medic? Navy corpsman? USAF PJ is allowable at all? Look at the USPHS stuff I'd seen also, their age limit is higher, 44, I've seen, gimme stuff on your clinical interests...have you done EMT-A/B/C, would such self-interest you at all also?

And trust me as I'd said, definitely look at USPHS, you'll find it of interest, I think, honest, OK?

You might be seen this at Ft Sam Houstoin, you'd likely have to stay active, however, you might find it of interest in any event....
