Which has the better benefits..The National Guard or The Army...and also?

[musicianreporter]

Im thinking about either joining the National Guard but Im wondering whoch of those has the better all around benefits...You know like money for spending on whatever and also money for college...Also if I join the National Guard what are the chances of being sent to active duty somewhere...because I really dont want to have to go to active duty...and thats sort of whats holding me back right now...so thanks for any info you can give me.

Active duty as the better benefits. You realize the guard can be deployed overseas and the guard is also used for state emergencies.

National guard is part time (unless deployed) 1 weekend a month, 2 weeks a year.
