Transferring Reserve Roles & weighing out my options.
Hi all!
I'm in the final stages (PFA) before enlistment for the Army Reserves. During the application process a family situation has found me having to relocate to a regional city for a 12 month period. I was very excited for a role within the Sigs , however, the only roles available at the new local depot are Warehouse Coordinator and Infantry Soldier.
Is it worth:
A) Getting enlisted and working in one of these roles, hopefully transferring roles when I move back to the city. With the understanding that it may no longer be available, and this can be a lengthy process.
B) Wait it out. Putting my application on hold until I can enlist into the Sigs unit.
The Reserves will provide an awesome opportunity to do something along side my civilian job I while I work fully remote for this period, and I would continue to do so when we relocate back.
I work in software, so tech and equipment come naturally to me. Therefore I thought the Warehouse Coord role would suit me. But does anyone have any information (outside what's available on the website) or personal experiences they can share around the logistics roles?
Much appreciated.
