Jamie’s Answer

A few options; you could join the National Guard or Reserves and continue going to school. You will have training each month and then a couple weeks in the summer. The monthly training with the unit you are assigned too usually schedules these around a weekends and are called "Drill Weekends". This is a very high-level overview of course and things may have changed a little since I retired. Or you can enlist in the Active Duty Army and then finish your degree while working full time and building active-duty time, a steady paycheck. You could finish your degree that way but could take a bit longer while working full time. While active duty you can then go "green to gold" where you transition from enlisted to officer if that interests you.

There are a few different approaches. Depending on your grades you could try to get selected for one of the service academies. That process takes about a year. You could either join the military for active duty or National Guard or Reserves and then attend classes as your time is available. Depending upon the skill job you would hold in the military you may receive some credit towards your college degree depending on the college and the program you pursue. You could also verify whether or not you have a college with an ROTC program and follow that path.
