Hello! I’m looking for some advice on an important decision. I’ll be finishing my training and becoming a licensed clinical psychologist within the next year, and I’ve been considering joining the National Guard.

My plan would be to maintain a civilian career while serving part-time, unless I’m able to secure a full-time position within the Guard. For those with experience, would you recommend this path? How manageable is it to balance both, and do you feel it’s been worth it?

I’d really appreciate any insight or personal experiences. Thank you!
