Job description

SERVING WHEN NEEDED
Unlike active duty, Army Reserve Soldiers serve part-time, allowing them to earn an extra paycheck, go to school, or work a civilian job while still maintaining many of the benefits of military service.
WHAT IS THE ARMY RESERVE?
The Army Reserve is the Army’s pool of extra resources and personnel. Reserve Soldiers perform critical Army jobs on a part-time basis.
WHEN WILL I SERVE?
You will spend one weekend a month on duty and two weeks a year in training. Soldiers in the Army Reserve may be called to active duty to provide their expertise. Your total service contract length in the Army Reserve may range from three to six years, depending on your Army Reserve job.
WHERE WILL I LIVE?
Unlike serving on Active Duty, you will be able to live anywhere in the United States. If you are planning on attending college or advancing within your civilian career, Army Reserve service will provide you with the flexibility to live where you choose.

Simply signing up as an Army Reserve Soldier may qualify you for a list of bonuses and incentives, including a skills bonus, Officer Candidate School bonus, and a translator aide bonus.
Part of the benefit of becoming a Soldier in the Army Reserve is the free time you will have to accomplish your goals.

Soldiers qualify for a variety of education funding opportunities for their military service, including the Montgomery GI Bill Kicker, the Army Reserve Education Assistance Program, and more.

The Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve
