First of all, I’m going to college in the same city I live in, I talked to my local army recruiter and he said if I join that I will be stationed at a reserve center close to my current home, but I don’t trust him. Will I be stationed near where I live after I go to boot camp?

Secondly, he says that I will join as an E3 due to my status as an Eagle Scout, is that true? If so how do I request it?

Third, would it be likely to be put on active reserve duty? I don’t know how common it is but I know it happens, not too worried about it tho I just want to know.

Finally, would it be better to join the national guard? And would it change the answers to the questions above?

I can provide details if that helps you answer my questions, shoot me a DM I’m usually quick to respond. Thanks.
