Go active for four years and get educational benefits when you get out. Good deal!! Or you may want to make a career of it. If so the Air Force is the best of all the services.

I was not in the reserves, but the way I understand it is "Full Time" reserves go one weekend a month and then two straight weeks once a year. For better information you should contact the Air Force Recruiter or someone who is already in the Air Force.

odds are no. BUT....listen here. Reserve units need a few people working full time. Those people are called Reserve on active duty. They get active duty pay and benefits but still work in a reserve unit. The only probelm is, he will most likely do the job they can him to do. Not what he wants to. I would recommend going active.

no he can not do the reserves full time unless he gets a full time type position, which i'm unsure if the reserves have. I know the national guard, and air national guard has positions they call AGR, active guard reserve, which are full time employees who are members of the national guard and air national guard, (btw air national guard is the air forces national guard units). however those positions are for people of usually at least e-5 such as recruiters, supply sgt's readiness, and training nco's admin nco's..but if he wants a full time job in the military he needs to go active duty, and since he's wanting to go air force there really is no risk in going active duty, it's more like civilians in uniform.

Yes, I was in the Guard, and we had full time staffers, they work m-f and of course 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks a year. Its not typicall for a new recruit to work it as the pay is based on rank, so a E1 (lowest rank) would get paid about 700$ a month opped to an E5 (staff sgt in air force) would get about $2000 a month. And they are usually admin guys who do the full time.

Reserves is "part-time". He he wants full time, go ACTIVE DUTY. I am Active Duty Air Force, been in just under 20 years.

Well he will go to basic in Texas for I think 7 weeks, then he will go to school after that. The length of the school depends on what he enlists for. After that it is 2 days a month, and 2 weeks a year.
Unless the unit gets activated.

Yes he can, but it would depend on the need and his skills. Jet engine mechanics for example are almost always needed All military have active duty reserve units. The best place to get specific answers talk to someone who is doing this kind of activity. They can give you the best picture of how life is in these situtations.

Yes. There are full time positions within the reserves and guard, the best person to ask would be the recruiter, though.

I am not an expert. It is my understanding that the reserves are not full-time. That's why they are in "reserve".
However, in times of war, like now, they can be called into active duty, which is full time.
