GO TO FT.JACKSON imma let you know why first off ft jackson is nicknamed relax'n jackson, meaning you can kindda chill. Ft L-woods Lost in the woods, no where to run no where to hide but in some damned trees. i went to the army(medical reasons i left) but i chose FT Jackson and it was cool, and as far as your weekend leave, you wont get that until you get into AIT. your recruiter wont tell you this, so i will.. when you get to FT.J you have to do a intial PT test, like 3 days after you get there, you have to run a mile in under 9 mins, 3 push ups and 7 sit ups. you are goin to get sick of eating cause it seems like everytime you turn around your goin to the DFAC(dinning facilities) fire gaurd dutys in reception(place you go before you actually get to basic) is like a hour or something like that, but when you get to basic all shifts are 2hrs long except gate gaurd. you got through 3phases at FT J(unless theyve changed it, i went in in 02) red phase is the hardest cause they try to make you quit, and most who do stop with those first few weeks. white phase you get a little bit of freedom, but not alot, blue phase, yall basically run what yall do and the drill sgts are more chilled. you will do a bunch of Sh*t you dont want to, but i can honestly say i had more fun in basic than i have had my first year of school, i know it sounds wierd but when you get in and done you might see what i mean... but have fun and let me know what you decide

You are brave for joining the national guard. My girl is in Venezuela right now "building a hospital". They told her they wouldn't deploy her, and she wouldn't do anything until after she graduated. WRONG. And she's only in Army ROTC. I have a few other friends who are nursing majors, and in Army ROTC, and I hope they aren't sent anywhere. If you don't want to do much you should join the Air Force!
