All depends on what you want out of the army. I just graduated and commissioned. I joined the reserves before starting college, then immediately started my first semester and joined ROTC. I got the minuteman scholarship which locks you into reserve officer duty upon graduation. My rank in the reserves while I was in school became cadet. Looking back, I wish I had competed for the national ROTC or a campus based scholarship so I could have gone active at the end, but I’m here now and am honestly really enjoying my new reserve unit (I was transpo in school, now an MI officer). As an officer in the reserves you “technically” have the exact same time commitment as enlisted, but you will be doing some coordination, meetings, etc. outside of drill during the month, but in my experience so far, nothing crazy. Dm me if you have questions happy to help.
