The Military

The Military is an armed force used  for warfar, it was formed in September 29th 1789. The Military is combined with 12 diffrent types of branches, which include., The Airforce, The Navy, The Army, and The Marines.Five of these are on active duty and Seven of them are on Part time duty. Each branch varies greatly in service commitment, location and how its members contribute to the overall mission of protecting our country, though all branches are on the same rank-based pay scale. There are two types of times, Active Duty, and Reserve. Active Duty (Full time),active Duty is similar to working at a full-time civilian job. Active-duty service members are full-time members of the Military, living on base or in military housing and immersed in military culture. After attending boot camp  they are stationed at a base either domestically or overseas. Active duty terms typically last two to six years. The length of deployment varies depending on a unit’s specific mission. Reserve(Part time)As the newest type of service the Reserve was created in the 20th century to provide and maintain trained units at home while active duty service members are deployed. Each active duty branch of the Military has a Reserve component under their command which is available for active-duty deployment in times of war or national emergency. Reservists are part-time service members allowing them time to pursue a civilian career or college education while simultaneously serving their country. Members of the Reserve attend boot camp and are required to participate in training drills one weekend a month as well as a two-week program each year. Some active duty service members switch to the Reserve to finish out their service commitment. Each time is diffrent, each branch is diffrent, which one would you choose?
