-I got a big surprise today. I applied for the reserves nearly two years ago and I thought I knew what I was getting into. Today they told me I could be sworn in on Friday and part of it was I had to swear I'd complete the entire training, including two months full-time in the summer of specialty training.
-Since it was reserves I didn't know I'd ever have to go away for longer than a weekend. And I thought in the reserves you can quit anytime you like. Taking an oath that you'll complete the training contradicts that big time, so we're off on the wrong foot.
-Thank God my wife makes decent money. I'm underemployed. If I find full-time work you bet I'll take it and not complete two months of training in the summer
I sometimes regret being pathologically honest, maybe I should stop thinking about all this and just take the oath and do what's best for me.
I wonder about any consequences for breaking my oath and quitting, such as a dishonourable discharge.
-Finally, if I take the oath Friday, when would my two months of specialty training likely be? And when will basic start? Thanks in advance.
