Should have said this first: congratulations on the job

I really do hope you get into the reserve branch of your choice. With your current level of pay and such being a reserve officer would make a difference in your fiscal situation. But I think you should really consider just becoming an infantry officer in your state national guard. And if you can't become an officer, just enlist; you should be able to join as an E-4.
