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.
