Joining as a reservist and transfering to active duty
I went and saw my recruiter today and was told the earliest ship date for any MOS was august. I will do anything to be a Marine, but due to financial reasons I need to ship ASAP. The recruiter suggested going in as a reservist and volunteering for deployment the minute I hit my unit. While deployed he told me I should put in my papers for transfer to active duty. This may take several months to accomplish, but in the mean time I can volunteer for deployment to my hearts content. This is an attractive option for me, but I was wondering if anyone out there has any pros or cons for me on this course of action. Any help is greatly appreciated!
