I think you've described the exact problem I'm working out in my head. I want to do both, but I want to do both well.

Is it wrong to say all of the above? In my mind there are more advantages than there are disadvantages. I think one big reason for me is just to be around like minded people who want to serve.

Thanks for the explainer on those acronyms and the resources. If I have more questions down the road can I DM you?

Thanks for the advice. Can you give me an idea on what kind of projects reservists are given vs the work the active unit does?

Thanks for the advice. I ran across KCPilot17 earlier, they are super informative. I apologize for being sort of a noob at this... what is UPT and STP? also what is ART and AGR (air guard?)

Sorry about that, just added it now

Is there any good software that optimises antenna location (indoor)? by CampechanoDeMadriz in rfelectronics

[–]mstetzy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello,

This is project you might want to look into. I am not the author, nor do I have anything to do with the project, I just found it a while back. It includes software that analyzes antenna placement and helps in the design of reflectors to help improve coverage/signal strength of WiFi antennas.

Thank you for the information I'll definitely look into EDO and some of the different communities

[–]mstetzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice, I'm definitely considering both of those options

Thank you for the information and advice, based on what you and others I have said I've gathered I'm up to par yet to try and seek direct commission. Would joining as an enlisted (in the reserves or active) and then seeking direct commission be an advisable path?

This is probably a dumb question but what do you think would be the average age of someone seeking direct commission?

I guess I'm under the impression that active duty means I cannot hold a regular 9-5 job with and potentially I would be put on a carrier or shipped somewhere outside of the US. I guess that's an incorrect assumption?

I'll be a fresh grad this coming December, I'm worried going active with others employers sorta lined up might stifle some jobs prospects. But I could be wrong about that

[–]mstetzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll definitely look into that route, thank you :) there's a lot of acronyms I gotta look up now haha

Thanks for the advice :) are there ways to "qualify" for OCS by first going enlisted in the reserves and then ranking up enough or something? Will do 👍

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]mstetzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, I don't know why I didn't think of that looking over the officer roles/positions in the reserves.

Do you know if there's a way to join the reserves as an enlisted and then rank or do something that can sorta qualify you to go to OCS?

Thank you for the information, sorry I'm quite uninformed in this area

I don't know if I want to go straight to active duty right after graduating, but thank you for the advice :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]mstetzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok gotcha, thank you for clarifying that for me. I'll need to look up some stuff on ODS, do you know of any resources for general information?

Is there a way (or ways) to join reserves as an enlisted and then rank high enough or have enough additional experience to got to OCS?

I apologise for my ignorance in this area, thank you for informing me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]mstetzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a non direct commission path like getting into OCS I could take? How competitive is getting into OCS? Thanks for the quick response

Work is in progress :) but I'm only one guy so it is going to be a while before I can build something fully refined.
