full time jagir khaney bhaye active duty, part time bhaye reserve better.

You can choose as per your current situation and future plans:
1. Reserve:
- If you have a good job or if you think you can land a good job after getting citizenship
- Currently in school and planning to graduate in future
- if you are planning to study further and Army want's to pay little portion of your education

2. Active
- Working Army as a full time and getting out from there after 4 years ( 6 years comparing to Reserve)
- You dont care wherever you are station
- Want to experience Army life
- Education benefit is really good but after getting out of Army (Paid for everything including housing and books)

Experience guys can add input

If you
- have good job
- prospects of getting good job very soon
- planning to go to college
-or in the college
Go for reserve but keep on mind its 6 yrs .

From my experience there are lots of positives and negatives aspects in the active duty.
If you really want to gain some military experience and that something u like to do then join active. Remember army is not for everyone its not like what u see in the Saving private ryan or the blackhawk down.
Usually you work 5 days a week and get weekend and gvt holidays off plus you get 30 days paid vacation every year.BUT sometimes you will be working 14-15 hrs a day for months and even on weekends.Going to weeks long field for training is normal.Most of the people in the army are friendly and easy going but there are some a**holes leaders who makes lower enlisted soldiers life miserable.
