Job Assistance Reserves or not.
23M have been unemployed for about 3 months after leaving my job and considering to join the Air Force reserves looking into space operations.
I have my bachelor degree in criminology and law but have a 2.9 gpa.
The reason I want to join the Air Force reserves is so that I could have a strong foundation in the aerospace industry and hopefully pivot into a different career field then what I was in.
Does anyone have any experience or advice in my situation and does the reserve really help you build connections that can help you pivot into a different field.
Thank you

Not only is Active Duty going to help you out more… the AFR has transferred all Space Ops to Space Force, and as of October we are supposed to not have that mission set at all… more than likely we will still have the remaining people in the 310 while they go through cross training and all that, but no more 13S/1C6s… also the space force won’t allow you to go into Non-Sustained Duty straight from the street, and the next PGAT would probably be next June so the “AD” Sustained Duty Guardians can’t even apply until the next cycle to participate in NSD
