[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2131189, member: 5412"] I did the double crown, with Active duty in the Army, and Army reserve. I've sure its different now from my day, but the best advice that has been given is to go with him to a recruiter, listen and learn to help him make a decision. Look at the local units. Ponca had two army reserve units. One was an administrative unit, and the other was a Training Unit, that had Drill Sargents. Both used the same Armory. The local NG unit was an infantry unit. I know folks in the Air Force Reserve that live in OKC that travel to Witchita, so they can train in their MOS (Military occupational speciality) So, What I'm saying, when he takes his apptiude tests, and shows he is proficient in some training area, he may have to travel to get to a unit that specializes in that training. I was a commo specialist in active duty, but when getting out and re-enlisting in the reserves, I ended up as a Drill Sargent. Didn't want to travel to OKC for the unit down there. Since I've spent so much time on this intel.......DROP! AND GIVE ME 20!!! :D [/QUOTE]
