I am currently thinking about joining the army reserve. I am in college and want to be in a combat oriented field. I know they don't have infantry or other specific combat positions for obvious reasons. What types of jobs can I get related to combat. I am thinking about a combat engineer any others you know of?

Radio Operator, you could use that skill after your duty is over in the job market.
my dad was a radio operator in the sevice during WWII. He learned electronics and became a electrician after wards. So that has many skills to obtain after the military service.
Good luck.

being active duty is going to get you more action than being in the reserve. especially a deployable unit. If you are in school, you may be able to still be in school while you are in depending on your duty schedule. you can take online classes and stuff like that. When you are active, they pay for most of your tuition, and then you can still use your GI Bill if you get it. If you go in, get it, it is well worth it. Talk to a recruiter and find out. Don't let them give you any BS about just going in without a career field, you will get something that you may not want depending on your ASVAP scores. Make sure they have it in writing the job you get. Have you taken your ASVAP test yet? If not they will have you take one. There are plenty of those jobs in the military, especially the Army branch. I was in the Air Force. But the recruiters are all the same.

the U. S. military (as you look to entice close) is made up of three elements: a million. The customary military - aka "energetic duty" 2. the military nationwide look after 3. the military Reserve The look after and Reserve are section TIME jobs. so as that could want to wish to be your first decision. do you want an entire time interest (i.e. energetic duty) or an element time interest (i.e. look after or Reserve)? The look after is two times as large because the Reserve and has wrestle palms instruments and wrestle help instruments. The Reserve in basic terms has wrestle help instruments. So the look after will provide extra instruments close to to you, extra interest openings and extra interest determination. The look after also frequently has significantly better tutorial advantages than the Reserve. i recommend conversing with Recruiters from all 3

Why not go into Field Artillery? There are some National Guard Units that have Field Artillery like Multiple Launch Rocket Systems and other long range weaponry. Good luck, God bless you for having the Huevos to go into the Reserve!!!
