I'm considering leaving college to go Active Duty Army. Any thoughts?

Seems it would be easy to move from Guard to Active later, if that would keep you in school.

Have you taken the aptitude test for Cavalry Scout and been approved for that school? It might not be available. So many soldiers are being mustered out because of the troop drawdown that you need to be sure that you are enlisted --with that school designation--.

Why are you discouraged with school and doing poorly? Are you studying the wrong thing? Are you in a low-level depression that is sapping your motivation?

sure. the army will pay for $4500 in line with year. you will ought to schedule your training around your defense force duties yet you may ought to try this with a civilian activity as nicely. Plus many schools have been began to provider defense force workers. I took some training at Rose State college in Midwest city ok. that's equipped top on the gates of Tinker Air stress Base. The professors artwork o.k. with defense force workers and the training are set as much as artwork as nicely as a hazard with Air stress, military and Marines that are stationed there. They comprehend the place their training funds is coming. i'm advantageous that there are colleges in basic terms like that everywhere. As for that guy calling you an fool, i'm advantageous he ought to not purchase his way into the defense force.

plan your leaving school with the end of the semester

do not drop out or withdraw until after you have completed whatever semester you have started

make sure you end your education with the highest possible grades you can

go ahead & talk with Army... make sure recruiter knows you need to finish school

make sure you sit down with school admissions office & fin aid office & do not leave any loose ends when you leave

if you have student loans, those payments will become due 6 months from your last day of class.. make sure you know what you need to do with making sure payments get to the right place at the right time (maybe even set up auto draft from your bank account)

That great if that's what you want to do. But what does your family say.?????

I am also a very positive person, it all sounds great but have you considered the bad things that can happen. It is very important to see things from a different perspective and the differentiate the pros and cons.
