Anyone in the AF Reserves and Active Duty want to share their pros and cons?
It’s settled I’m joining the AF, BUT I really really want to go to college and get a degree first, so I think the Reserves might be the best option for me IF I can get it paid for by the military. Otherwise I’ll just have to go Active Duty. Any opinions on each of these? Any success stories?? Thanks for your help!
