I sit next to a guy in the reserves at school. I asked him this exact question. The army does not give you any money for school until you complete the class. So you pay for the class up front once you get to the end of the term with a good grade they cut you a check. The big catch is they can pull you out of class at anytime and he said they will not hesitate just cause you are in school at the time. And if they pull you out of class you did not finish it therefore no check from the army. He also made a point to say that the infantry unit here in Minnesota is one of the best ranked units in the gaurd. So when they are looking for gaurd units to deploy you would definatley be near the top of the list. And remember the Army will tell you almost anything to get you to sign up. This is a sad thing that they lie to so many kids but it is the truth. So I would not sign up thinking that you are going to go through basic and then just sit back an relax for a year until they put you in job training. You think that makes much sense to the army to have a perfectly good newly trained soldier just sitting at home collecting a check when we are a nation at war? If you sign up now you will be deployed that is pretty much a garantee.
