I know just a little bit about the process. You need to look at www.cap.gov and find the state you are interested in working. Find the Chain of command page. Call the State Director (Top Civilian) and the Wing Reserve Coordinator (Top Mil Dude). Those 2 individuals do the hiring and firing of CAT E Reservists in their state. I have no idea if the ARMY thing is a stopper or not. Good luck.
