Graduate student in Naval reserve ?

[Antoine]

I understand that the guy in command has to be in top shape as a basic requirement and the huge responsibility on his shoulder. Thus fair enough if NAVY wants young and smart CO, I'm not bitter about it,....OK, not right now, it may come  :argument:

If NAVY takes me, they know my age, hopefully it will be a win-win situation, and I'll do my best. :evil:

Anyway, I hope this discussion is helping grad students that are in their late twenty to know more about Naval Res officer jobs.

Thanks again to be honest and open about all these topics.

P.S. I have modified the present post as I found my first draft was an approximation of what I wanted to say. Still an English learner.

Hi All,

It is not related to the present topic, but since I have started this thread, I would like to thanks everyone that have replied to the present about MARS officer in naval reserve.

I got my medical results and V4, so I don't qualify for MARS. I'll contact my navy unit and discuss with them about other opportunities such as maritime intelligence. Might discuss with them about laser surgery if they think that MARS will fit me in their unit.

However, I will continue to update this thread about grad student in Naval reserve if I stick to the NAVY and if I can bring any interesting input.

I hope that any graduate student in NAVY will continue to feed this thread with their experience, question and so on.

Cheers

The latest I heard, Navy Int is full on the reserve side so they are not taking any more candidates this year.  I would go with the laser eye surgery and then carry on from there.  Dont let V4 stop you.

I got the confirmation: No more Navy Int position for the next couple of incoming years in the reserve unit I was looking for (HMCS Discovery). MARS officers are still in high demand, many positions to fill and a couple of Log positions left but no many.
