DO NOT DO RESERVES!
ohhh my god it sucks, or at least my unit does. seriously, if i could have gone back in time i woulda went active. at least my signal corps reserve unit is horrible. and its not even all the people, alot of them are awesome.......its just as a whole.........i cant explain the amount of fail that goes into it sometimes (and i thought tradoc was bad)
not just to me, had a buddy who did most of his state side training, about to deploy to afghanistan, all set to go............they lost his paperwork. i dont know how or what the foul up is, but the end result is.....hes staying here. honestly though i was like "well, if they suck this hard, dont go over sea's where your life depends on them"
hes trying to go active i think right now, or switch companies/MOS
I know the unit I would go to. It's a good one. 301RQS, it's a rescue unit at Patrick AFB in Coco beach, FL. Lot of good dudes down there and it has a good rep. I never thought of it but I'm deployed with some of the guys are there now and they're trying to recruit me. Worth a shot because the Dept. of State has their Air Wing down there too so I could get a job doing counter drugs in South America which is awesome gig!
