Army Reserves?? Need Some Help.?
Arraynot found.im 15 right now and i wanna join the army reserves when im 17. what would the training be like and if they pay for the college would they help get me into the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland?
If you want to go to the Naval Academy go herehttp://www.usna.edu/Admissions/
to find out how.
You do NOT pay to go to the Naval Academy. It is your JOB…you get paid to go…and you agree to serve in the Navy for a number of years afterwards…which is what the Navy gets out of the bargan.
Being in the Army reserve would probably not help you get into the Naval Academy… you would already be under contract to serve in another branch…it would require a truckload of paperwork to make that happen, and they have more than enough qualified candidates as it is.
If you want the Army to pay for college, they can, and do, do that. The Army has a ton of programs, from ROTC, SMP (where you are in both the Guard or Reserve and ROTC), GI Bill, etc. The Army will cover most state school tution totally, and if perchance you wind up a Yale or such they will cover a big chunk (but not all) of your Yale tution.
If you want to go to Annapolis, NOW is the time to start making it happen, with grades, sports, extracirriculars, etc. Just look at their website for to do it, and MORE importantly look at some of the people who REALLY DO get in.
IF you want to go to the Army Reserve, that’s great too…but it won’t help you get into Annapolis.
Thats a good choice. Training is the same as ARMY (dont worry about it) Yes they will really help you pay for college but you might want to talk to them about the naval academy first and how to get into that. good luck
I would go Army National Guard They have more benefit than the reserves and they do basically the same thing they pay of College and basic training isn’t that hard as long as your semi-in-shape.
