[QUOTE="Aizen, post: 1358842, member: 14463"] Currently considering commissioning as an officer, since I have a STEM degree that will be completed by year's end. The Reserves sounds nice - I've heard you're guaranteed your MOS - but it naturally follows that the contracts are longer for a part-time gig. Specifically, 6-7 year reserves stints in contrast to 3-4 years active duty. From what I gather, the Reserves has a nice work-life balance, but I'm more of an all-or-nothing guy. In other words, I'm either going active or not going at all. Part-time service strikes me as somewhat half-assed; I've also heard that they don't actually do much given that they meet sporadically and for relatively short intervals. The Reserves/Guard is definitely a fair option if I decide to pull the trigger on this whole military thing. The main question I've been mulling is whether to join [I]at all[/I]. [/QUOTE]
