TMW 009: Should You Join Guard or Reserves After Active Duty?

Should you join the Guard or Reserves after leaving active duty? When I was on active duty, I didn’t give it much thought. My perception at the time was that the Guard and Reserves were basically the same as active duty, just on a part-time basis. 

In some ways, that is true. But there is so much more to the Guard and Reserves than that. Today, I invite a special guest on our show to discuss how the Guard & Reserves are different from active duty, some of the benefits you can receive while serving in the Guard and Reserves, including health care and a pension, and how you can balance serving in the Guard and Reserves with your civilian career.

If you aren’t familiar with the Guard and Reserves, the content of this podcast may surprise you!
