Going into the Army Reserve tomorrow.

I did my four years on active duty, 2011-2014, went to Korea, Germany Afghanistan... Got out. I'm still on that inactive ready reserve or individual ready reserve or whatever they call it, until November of 2018.

So I decided I would do the rest of it on the actual Army reserve. You know, that one weekend a month, two weeks a year thing. Buying Tricare is going to save me about two hundred dollars a month and I still get to maintain some of the skills I picked up in the Army.

The way I see it, I'll get some periodic Army training without having to do the dumb ****, mowing grass all the time or painting walls.

Even if it is a bunch of BS, at least I'll still get some training and the benefits. And if I hate it, I'll be done in November of next year. If I like it, I'll extend.

What experiences do y'all have with the Army reserve? I know what active duty is like. What is the reserve like? Just wondering what to expect.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
