Just man-up and join the Marines. The old lady will likely leave you anyway. Might as well learn the proper way to fight, kill, and break things. OOHRAH! Greydog.
He said he had trouble with tests, he didn't say he couldn't read

Thanks Guys, I think I'm going to talk to a recruiter. I've never been good at tests so I need to study up a bit more and see what they have to offer.
I have two questions maybe you guys could answer.
1. Does the NG pay for any school bills already received, ie. Student loans.
2. And what if I join in KY and move back to OR can I transfer my NG duties there, or would I be able to commute back to KY for weekend service?

The guard will pay off past loans and you can transfer units when you move states without too much problem. I currently serve in the guard full time and have been in for 17+ years...it has been great and allowed me to see the world and do VERY rewarding things. Dont forget the Guard also serves the state as well as the nation and some of the MOS's can be transferred to the civillian market.
Just know what you are getting into as far as choosing an MOS and the unit you are joining. Ask about "Guard for a day" program. We would let potential recruits join our unit for a drill weekend and see what its like. Sometimes it was actual training, sometimes it was inspections and itemizing supply inventories... If you are doing it for extra money and some training or college money and don't want to deploy, don't join. Expect to deploy, do your duty and then appreciate some of the benefits. You can get benefits and even have some fun on occasion but you have to want to serve something greater than yourself. If you can do that, you'll do just fine.
Today I took a big hit though. most of the reason I was originally looking into this was to have them pay for my high student loan debt. Buuuuuut I have private student loans, and they only pay for federal loans.
Private loans are like kyptonite. Nobody touches it, and my feeling is the financial institutions paid the govt to keep it that way. Seeing how H.R. 5043 failed.
Because it was a private student loans. The military pays for student loans, only federal.
How's it any different if the tax payers pay for tuition???
Or pay for millions of illegals tuition?
