What are the pros or cons of switching from National Guard to Active Duty and changing my MOS (from 11B to 56M or 68W)?

You get more experience on active duty than in the guard. More opportunities, higher advancement. No good ole boy problem's. Active duty your a soldier 24/7, unlike the guard, higher standards, more expectations.

Have to. Second kid is due any day and the Army is the best paying job with benefits I can find. If I want to go back to the guard after I know I'll have zero problem getting back into my old unit. The guard has been around since 1636 and I doubt it's going anywhere soon.
