Hello, first off I feel for you. I am active duty myself. My parents really didnt want me to join the Navy, but, I have gotten a lot out of it.

If you talk to ladybugg74
she is in the NG and may be able to help you some. Now, if your son really wants to go reserves, then the AF or Navy would be better. The army MG is activated A LOT. They get dpeloyed, and, while yes... they will pay him money upfront and pay for college, he will also have to work his butt off to pay for it. Meaning, deploy, training...bootcamp MOS school ect. There is a LOT he has to put into it up front before he can get anything out of them. Also, if for what ever reason he is kicked out...he pays back the money and looses the right to the GI bill (unless it is after X months). Hope this helps you some. Feel free to PM me if you need more info.
