Hi! I’m an MS1 ROTC cadet who is contracted with a 4 year scholarship. I have looked into the differences between AD vs Reserves a little bit but would love to have y’all’s input and help explaining it a bit more.
1. What does being in the reserves look like right after commissioning? Like do officers still have to attend BOLUC etc.
2. How competitive are reserve slots vs active duty slots via AROTC?
3. Pros/cons for AD and Reserves? (I am currently making a list).
4. Who would you recommend for reserves over active duty?
I don’t understand why everybody in my batallón either wants to go guard or active duty. No one says their top choice is reserves… but I think it sounds like a great path.
