Question
Hi,
I'm a new 19 year old mother of one, and I'm currently looking into my military options. With my son being so young, which military reserves branch do you suggest? I have a medical backround and a clean record along with it.
Thanks
Hi Katie,
You may wish to read my article, "U.S. Military 101" at: http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/generalinfo/a/military101.htm and my article "What the Recruiter Never Told You" at: http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/joiningup/a/recruiter.htm
Both articles may help you to decide which Military branch may be best for you.
The truth of the matter is that no one can tell you which Military branch might be best for your personally. Only you can make that decision. Each branch has their own "style," and own advantages and disadvantages.
Hope this helps!
