To the OP: Bonus points if you can get hired at a base that allows you to live in base for your mil job AND your civilian job! Also, I would reccomend your hierarchy be Guard then Reserve.

...if he can get a utilization tour right out of the gate. If not, he is just a dual rated dude who gets sent to an Air Assault unit WISHING he was doing something else.
However, I had heard this rumor, too. Any truth to it? If so, how many slots per class?
