Army Reserves?

[Bassboss]

Ever since I was little I've been interested in joining the service. I'm older now think I've got my career pretty well figured out (athletic training). Only problem is paying for college, and job security is questionable to boot.

Today, an Army rep came to our school and we had a little chit chat.
First thing I asked is the possible careers that offered. Closest thing that came to athletic training was physical therapy... something I've also been looking into, plus the pay is better. Than the rep informed me (more like reminded me lol) of the reserves. I'd be able to pursue my dreams of being a trainer, pay for college, have other career options (being a PT, or do full time service), and have much better job assurance because I'd be a member of the Army.
Plus I'm turning 18 in a couple months so I can sign independently, being a member of the reserves while in high school, then jump right into the roll of thing afterwards. Might just help with the flow of things.

So I guess my question is, is their any members of the reserves here? What have the major benefits for you been, and how has it affected your career?

For for any comments, answers, and opinions guys!
