4. Military Pay Off Loans

   midlifecareerchg replied to UjonesRN's topic in Government

   I am joining the reserves, not active duty. I was thinking about switching to active duty later, especially if that meant getting some of my old student loans paid off. But it sounds like it may only be something a person can do as part of the enlist...

   I'm re-joining the reserves because I'm in a tough financial pickle. My first career plan with Sociology didn't work out and therefore I've been running my own home remodeling business for the last 4 years. I've been getting by but not getting ahead....

   Oh yeah, my previous MOS was 81E. It was in PSYOPS and no longer exists. I can't return to PSYOPS right away because I can't get a security clearance right away. But, I'd rather change to the medical field anyway.

   I enlisted the first time in 1983 when I was 18. I did 4 years Reserve duty and 2 yrs inactive reserves. I was an E-4 when I left. I will be returning as an E-4, so I can choose a WO MOS now and go for NCO after AIT. I'm not sure how to calculate my ...
