ARE BENEFITS THE SAME FOR ACTIVE DUTY AND RESERVISTS?A discussion on the differences between benefits Active, Reserve; Separated, Retired
Introduction
Since 1973 the United States Military has been an all volunteer force in service to our Country.
When a service member completes basic training they earn the right to a title that can never be taken away.
1st Enlistment
Total of an eight year obligation with initial enlistment in the Marine Corps
Most Marines chose the below path
Four years on Active Duty Four years Individual Ready Reserve
Obligation Options
Individual Ready Reserve Marine or Army Reserve National Guard
Any of the above options are acceptable for the completion of the second half of the eight year obligation if the service member decides to not continue on active duty.
Obligation Options
Questions?
Education Benefits

non prior service qualified applicants at the time of enlistment.
Education Benefits

Air Force offers to pay up to $10,000 in unpaid student loans
Program requires successful completion of four year active obligation. At the end of each year 33 1/3 percent or $1,500 which ever is larger is applied to unpaid balance.
Education Benefits
For all three of the services it is important to remember that each program has differences
for eligibility and that service recruiters should be consulted for specifics on the College Loan Repayment Program.
Education Benefits
Marine Corps has not offered the College Loan Repayment Program.
Recruiters are able to sell the value of the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill and Tuition Assistance.
Online learning has become a popular education vehicle for today’s military due to the convenience of time flexibility and that it can be accomplished in just about every location.
