question about marine reserves from somone in marine reserves or with good knowledge of them...?

i am thinking of joining marine reserves and i need to know do they pay for any of your schooling...and what health and dental insurance am i elligable for and will i stay in my hometown when i get back and go to drill on weekends once a month ..and if i pick a mos will i go to a sort of ait training after boot or how does that work just all this and anything else ive left out would be greatly appreciated thank u ....
--------------------
Here is some basic info on the reserves USMC. -You get to choose your actual/specific job. It is in your best interest to pick a job that is nearest you to avoid long travel. You can only pick a job that is in your area. -You will do boot camp, then if your job is NOT infantry you will do combat training for 1 month. After this you will go to your MOS school and once you graduate you go home and do the weekend warrior thing. -If your job is infantry then after boot camp you go to infantry school for 2 months and you do not do combat training. -While you are in boot camp, school or on any type of duty you have free medical and dental as you need it. When you are at home doing the weekend warrior thing you do not get those benefits. -You do get the GI bill but not immediately. I do not know the specifics of this, but you do get educational benefits. The longer you serve the more you get. -Remember that reserve units can become active for up to a year. This means you will be gone for a year or longer if activated. You never know if you will or will not get activated. While active you get all the benefits.
