Hello everyone,
I am currently in High School and thinking about joining/becoming a reserve officer. I want to attend University after High School and major in Computer Science and after that go on to higher education or into the workforce. From what I know, the reserve/national guard meets a few times a year to review training but does not do active duty, and gets paid for these training. I have also been told that there are many benefits in joining the reserve/ROFC in terms of tuition/financial education even for those from upper-class families. I am willing to meet multiple times in a year and do basic training but I do not want to do any form of active duty (or even trainings of more than a month of time). Is this possible or is my information on the reserves wrong or outdated.
