In this episode of The Next Tour, Ian and Andia talk with Terri Bailey, the spouse of a member of the Army National Guard and an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®), where we unpack some of the most critical things to consider when thinking about joining the Guard or Reserves, be it following time on active duty or as an initial entry point into military service. Terri also talks about some of the differences (and similarities) of benefits available to members of the Guard and Reserves, such as the potential ability to wear the uniform simultaneous to holding a disability rating through the VA, healthcare considerations, and retirement planning.
