Good afternoon all,
I want some honest advice. Please, please, please... no sweet answers. I would call a recruiter but I have heard from many people that
recruiters tell you what you want to hear and try to sign you up any way they can. I don't know if that’s true or not. Moreover, I definitely do
not want to offend anyone.
Here is my question -
i work full time, have dependants, am 23 and have college education. I do want to become a reservist and not a full time soldier. So keeping that in mind, can you guys answer the following questions?
1 - If I become a reservist, I will only train on weekends. - True?
2 - If I become a reservist, it means that I will be second in line - in case of an emergency. - True?
3 - I will be able to work my full time job while training and being a part of the reservist army?
4 - What is the time commitment with the reservist? Weekly hours? How many years minimum etc?
5 - Are there any jobs that I cannot be a part of if I become a reservist, meaning if I was actively serving as a reservist? (Police)
6 - Are all reservists trained in just infantry or do they also specialize in other fields?
Thank you in advance to all of those who answered.
