Reserves or national guard ?

1st question... i was looking to join the national guard for 68w health care... is it true nowadays to join the reserves instead because of national guard overpacked and not being able to get bonus... i wll do either i jus want to join part time and for 68w.. any pros or cons let me no?? also i took asvab and got 40 so im good for reserves but i was less then 4 points from being able to do health care 68w.. any suggestions or particular subjects to study.. math mechanics etc.... any help please... trying to nip this in the bud...

You may get a better bonus with the reserves because the Guard is overstrength, but every state has different MOS needs, so ask a Guard recruiter. If you want to be a line medic, you're going to have to go Guard because the REserves don't have combat arms. If you just want to work in health care at an aid station or something, then you can do either.

That's a really hard questions. For the most part they are both the same pay wise and structure. However from what I hear the reserve promotes faster and has more opportunities for agr positions. However on the flip side,the National Guard is the state's Army so you'll have opportunities to serve in your state which is something that I think is cool. Also along with that is when you deploy they will deploy you with your whole unit, as opposed to the reserve in which they can hand pick you.
I think one big thing you should look at is where you will be drilling based on which service you join. If you have to drive 6 hours to go to drill with the guard but only 2 hours with the reserve, obviously the reserve would be a better option. So that is one aspect I would definitely look at.

well national guard unit are in your state that you live in and you may only have to drive one or two hours for promotion or units. in the reserves if you are looking down the road, Promotion you may have to drive for some state or two away from where you live. both will have 68w, the national guard will have more due to each state has a Medical Command.
