Any advice on what to get into in the National Guard with pretty good Math line scores?

If you are thinking of going into the National Guard, you may be limited in the array of MOS's you can select.  It often depends on which jobs are available at the unit(s) you are trying to do.\nMy experience was this;\nI did well on those areas myself, and I ended up selecting an MOS in electronics in the Ordinance Corps.  I served 4 years in the regular Army in my regular MOS, then I joined the national guard, and chose an MOS that was available at the unit.  I never trained in my new MOS, and I ended up getting out of the guard back in 2003.\nI certainly do not want to tell you what to do, but I do suggest that you watch what you sign, and talk to more than one person.  There are some dirtbag people in the Armed forces that are out to stick it to the serviceman, be it senior officers, senior ncos, DOD Personnel, and those in the community that are not connected to the military.  especially if you are stationed conus at a large military post.\nRegardless of what you do, I wish you the best.\n\n================\nDid they change the policy since I was in the military?  I was regular army, then I went into the National Guard.  That was in 2001.  Have they changed the policy since then?

I'd check the schools' websites or contact the admissions office. Generally, though, take the tests right after you take a class (like the math tests after or during your highest level math class) and take tests that accentuate what you're already good and and what you're interested in. For example, I took writing (before it was part of the new SAT), Spanish language, and Math (both the easy and hard ones) because I wanted to major in either writing or Spanish at the time and was pretty good at math, too. Good luck!

My recommendation is the Navy.  After you take the ASVAB and they come back with results, if they don't offer you something you like, threaten to walk out of MEPS, ***DO NOT BELIEVE THIS LIE*** "You can cross-rate after 18 months".\nI can't say what branch is better or not, that depends on what you want to do.

go to west point, college R.O.T.C,  or O.C.S.

Personally, I would suggest that you apply to a local community college where your gpa will be accepted.  Then do really well -- maintaining at least a 3.0 gpa or higher-- then transfer to the college of your choice.  Good luck.\n\nAlthough they are doing an awesome job for our country -- I would look into this before committing to the military.  They are dedicated to the service for reasons other than school, you would need to examine if you are that dedicated for all different reasons.

The higher the better.  Air Force is very competitive.  Also, your ASVAB score will determine which MOS (jobs) you will or won't qualify for. You only get a couple shots at the ASVAB, so study your brains out!

i am a sea cadet from Munro Division in Cape May, NJ.  If you have been in the program for a least two years, if you attend boot camp you will graduate at a higher pay grade.  If you plan on being an officer, it helps alot with the selection process if you choose an academy or NROTC.  I have applied for NROTC and have been accepted to The Citadel, VMI, and Penn State.  All are NROTC schools.

Everything I've heard about NMMI is very good. I would suggest you go, if you are being given the opportunity. Keep you eyes on your long-term goals, and study hard!

your best bet is to contact the school you are interested in. And ask them their math requirements.

go buy the asvab study guide ...its mostly common sense questions anyways

I suggest you look into the Kaplan review, they have very good reputation when it come to SAT (and other tests)

Well it depends, National Guard is only one weekend a month, 2 weeks in the summer while Marines is full tiem. If you already have a good job or are going to school then National Guard might be the way. If you're looking for full time work, healkth insurance, a place to live etc then Marines might be a better choice. This is the first time I've seen a question like this, usually its Army or Navy or Marines which is better etc? When comparing branches its a harder decision becuase they all offer the same benefits, but a choice between National Guard and active duty is pretty clear cut or should be. Oh also be aware that National Guard isn't as good about college tuition reimbursement as they make themselves out to be. I enlisted National Guard after I got out of the Army on the understanding that they would pay my college tuition and because of deadlines and paperwork snafus I ended up getting nothing as did 90% of the people in my unit.

First, you must have outstanding math grades, science grades, and written/verbal skills.  You must also have perfect eyesight.  High SATs, good overall GPA (3.9 or better) and extracurricular programs (especially leadership positions in academic clubs) are also helpful.  If you are delinquent in any of these, give up.  (For future reference, always use spellcheck...Your title is misspelled, and that will prevent you from receiving any scholarship 99.9% of the time.)\n\nIf you are still with me, then find out what state university offers this degree plan.  Apply for university and departmental scholarships.  It would be highly advisable that you contact either the Chair of the department, or the department secretary, or another faculty member that might be doing research that interests you, and ask them for some advise.  Let them know of your interest in their college.  Ask if there are any undergrad or high school summer research positions and how one would go about obtaining one.  Networking within the system is always a good way to get your name (and proverbial foot) in the door.\n\nIf all this fails, you should consider the Air Force.  If you do well on the ASVAP (sp?) you can apply for pilot's school.  After 4 years, your GI Bill will pay for your engineering school.\n\nHope this is helpful.

Economically, it makes great sense.  You'll have to go to Basic Training (not a big deal) and then AIT (even easier, where you learn your job).  All you have to do is apply to a college and you'll be able to do them simultaneously.  You could try an ROTC scholorship and skip the Guard, but you can do both!  My buddy did that and had enough extra money during college to buy a car, I still had a bike.  The National Guard is cool because it's not just "go to Iraq and die" like uneducated people think, you get to help out your local community in times of crisis.  If you're willing to spend a couple of months learning to be a team player and shoot a rifle, it's worth it.

Its a deal with the devil, but your local national guard recruiters will have carreer evaluation tests. Not just the armed services apptitude test, but a civilian test too.

If you got a B+, then all you should need to get is an A- to get in the 'A' family - the upward trend should show you improved over the term. Other than doing extra credit (as you noted), I'd cover those things that gave you trouble and find a different way to learn them - maybe use some flash cards for vocabulary terms. But strive for your "usual" A+ this term to give yourself a buffer.\n\nBut you didn't provide any other specifics - what specific branch of science are you learning? Are you comfortable in the lab? If you're taking chemistry, you will want to be adept at algebra for problem solving and balancing chemical equations. If you're taking physics, you'll need to know some geometry and trigonometry (as well as some algebra) for force and trajectory problems. But if you're still calling it by the generic name "science," then that tells me you're probably in junior high - at least you have some fair warning for high school science classes.\n\nOverall, though, don't get overly concerned about your grades - it's more important to *learn* something that you can take out of these classes. If you get an occasional B or B+ but learn a lot, you're going to have an easier time in college than those who work just to get A's.

You will get basic discipline out of it from your schedules.  Waking up early, getting certain things done in a short amount of time.  Keeping your area within certain specs.  You learn to be more aware of yourself.  Depending on your tech school (career choice), you may get more discipline there.  Security forces is a little tougher.  Para jumpers will have more.  I think that you can make the right moves to make you more disciplined.  The Air Force is definitely more geared towards brain than brute however.
