None of the above... Pick something that actually translates to a real world job in the civilian community. That way all of your training, schools, credentialing, etc... help you find an actual career in the real world. Each of those are a waste of time. They sound "cool", but the homeless shelters are filled with vets who had "cool" sounding jobs...

SFC Michael Hasbun very true, it was just one benefit of FO. Lower promotion points, usually high bonuses.

SGT Justin Brothen - Yeah, but he's Guard, so that's what? An extra $2-$3 a month? Schools and credentialing are a much better incentive packet...

Yeh it's not like being Infantry or Cavalry doesn't come with a clearance either, sure there's the occasional person who doesn't qualify for one but most of the "combat arms" (not a thing anymore...Operations Division) handle COMSEC and filled radios, use special weapon systems etc that entitle a person to a SECRET if they don't have stupid choices to somehow not qualify for one.
If you want to do "high speed" stuff for the guard just go SF. but best bet is to get something you are interested in making a career out of/that mirrors the civvy job one already has.
at least he can spell Cavalry unlike 78% of the military.....

So your wanting a combat arms job? All three are physically demanding, so you should expect quite a bit of PT. I say artillery..... But that's because I was.

If you just want a cool job any of these will do, but why not go for a skill that transfers. You say right now you have a good job and that is awesome, but you could always benefit from having additional skills. I picked 12B so I could have fun, I will however be transitioning to MI at some point in the near future to develop real world skills that will transfer outside of the military; not because I need to, but because I see the value in it.
