ok so i'm enlisting in the national guard this summer. i'm a freshman in college, and not in rotc. next year (when i'm a sophomore) i will join army rotc, and be in the national guard at the same time (i think this is called SMP?) anyways i'd prefer to go active duty after rotc, so how will that work? does that mean i have to enlist in the national guard for only 3 years, not 4+? also more questions about rotc, my gpa won't be too good this semester, but by the end of next semester it will be around 2.8ish, how competitive is active duty after army rotc? and even if i keep a gpa below 3.0, will i still be guaranteed national guard or reserves officer? thanks
