Thanks for this explanation! This definitly makes the choice (if it becomes possible) between Active and Reserves difficult. I know with Reserves you can establish a civilian career, but besdies that is there any real advantage to this? I know Active you will be relocatded, receive better pay...

Thanks for all of your responses and isnight. I know I keep asking questions but I feel this is the right place to ask them. I was not awarded a scholarship (currently in college). After I am commissioned, will I owe 3 or 4 years of Reserve/Active? And after the initial 3 or 4 years in most...

So since I'll be doing my initial time in the Reserves (then after IRR I assume?), I'll pretty much fill any slot needed then go for that schooling? I don't mind this as long as I'm still serving my country.

Thanks for all of your replies and advice. My ideal situation would be to branch in MI in the Reserves but if not CBRN in the Reserves would be the next best position. And if I should add, not too shaby careers coming out of college. As an aside, does anybody know how long MI and CBRN Officer...

Since most people do not want a chemical officer slot, I guess it wouldn't be that competitive to earn a slot? Intel would be my top choice but I've heard that it is hard to earn. Thanks for all of yuor answers!!

I really do find CBRN fascinating. I already have experience with Haz-mat (through my vol. fire dept.) and I enjoy it. Also I've heard that there are many jobs related to this field, especially now with the ever present threat of a dirty bomb or biological attack.

Ok thank you. I find it more appealing to go into the Reserves after because I can establish a civilian career and have the Army as a part time career as well. What are the chances of landing an Intel position after graduation or even a CBRN position?

Thanks for all of your answers. This may be a bit off topic but I didn't want to start a new thread haha. If you make the cut off for Active Duty, can you still choose to go into the Reserves and have a civilian career at the same time? And I've seen that ROTC Cadets are required a 4 year...

How does the job selection work with ROTC? Does it work the same way as the SA's? And how long after Commissioning does one go to training for the job? (particularly Reserves)

Don't be ashamed for the decision you have made. I myself was in your position a year ago, although under different circumstances. Coming home is different and you'll be suprised how different the lifestyle is. The most important thing to realize is that you'll have your family as a strong...

i wouldn't put to much effort into finding the exact length. T-day 0 we were issued i think 4 pair of athletic shorts which was more than enough. You start off weating BDU's most of the time but towards the end of INDOC you wear shorts more often. I don'y know if this was because of the summer...

aglages sent you a PM

Yes sir I was. I separated due to an injury during Indoc. I still have the desire to serve my country.

Yes I am completing my freshman year of college.

I was wondering is it still possible to apply for an Air Force ROTC Scholarship? I am completing my freshman year now and have a GPA around 3.9. Any help is good help :thumb:
