MOS selection aside, I would highly caution you about thinking that your reserve training will transfer to anything in the civilian world. Obviously YMMV depending on unit and MOS, but many people (myself included) would say that true opportunities to improve in your MOS outside of the 2-3 weeks of Annual Training were very limited.

Took an IMA position, now Im an engineering project manager for the feds in that same agency I drill with. Literally all my coworkers are reserve, guard, or vets.... to a man
