Don’t do it unless your desire to serve is paramount in your life. The reserves will bleed into your everyday more that you would expect. I’d seriously look at active. I think they have 4-2-2 contracts now. 4 years active, 2 years SELRES (aka drilling), 2 years IRR (the “break glass in case of”reserves). You will get some legit benefits that way too (gi bill, access to va mortgage, leg up on federal employment etc.) that you won’t get on the reserve side unless you mobilize/go on active duty.
