My boyfriend told me that he's interested in joining the Naval Reserves, last night. I've been a complete wreck since. I need information about the reserves, how they work, how they are different from the active forces, the chances of being deployed, will he be able to do the job he wants to, how can one be deployed if they only do 1 weekend a month? He's 25 with a college degree in marketing but has been out of work the past 2 months. He wants to do Media Relations work at the base in the city where we live. Apparently he thinks he's just going to walk in to this position at this particular base with no risk of being deployed. After talking with several people at work today, they've stated that this is def not the case. They said that recruiters will say anything you want to hear to get you in the door but it's never true afterwards. I was also told that reserves are the first to go overseas to Iraq and the like. Can somebody please provide me with accurate info? I'm a crying mess!
