Hi, I have a question that I didn't find an answer to by searching. Anyways, I think that I would like to eventually be a DEO, but was thinking that before signing a 9 year contract, it may be a good idea to give the reserves a try as an NCM (even if it's a non related trade). It would let me see if I like military life, can at least make it through basic training, and generally would just be a good experience.
The thing is, I'm currently in University on a co-op program where I have 3 terms in a year and alternate between school and work placements. So, for example, this year I have school from Sep-Dec; work from Jan-April; and school again from May-Aug (next year will be the opposite). This leads to two problems:
1.) Not available to go on full time training in the summer
2.) Some of my future work placements are likely to be in other cities. I would assume that you can't just bounce between different reserve units every 4 months since they seem to be run fairly individually.
Anyways, I assume there is no real way I could make this work; but people on this site seem to really know their stuff, and it never hurts to ask.
Thanks a lot!
