2 things I learned from the Army recruiters:
The National Guard will pay you more for in state college tuition than the Army/Army Reserves will.
In the National Guard, you only have to work one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer. (Or maybe it's Army/Army Reserves...or both. I've forgotten.)
Would I like to join the Army/Army Reserves or the National Guard?
I'd love to. I want the strength and discipline that comes with being in the military. Despite all of that, I refuse to. You can't join the military with self harm scars. I'm not going to join up to something like that. It's a really dumb way to evaluate the mental health of somebody. What if they used to self harm and they're better now and they still have scars? What if they're mentally damaged and DON'T have scars? I fully understand and respect not letting mentally damaged people yield large weapons but just because they have scars doesn't mean they're STILL broken. My best friends step father was in the military and he was sociopathic but hid it well and he had no scars. That's terrifying. Scars are just a bad way to identify the current mental health of a person.
