First, there's nothing wrong with using the reserves to boost your resume as long as you have a little honor and humility and understand and accept that Uncle Sam owns your ass when you're in the uniform. A lot of guys are in the reserves for personal or financial reasons, so if you're a good dude, you'll probably fit right in.

Second, if your reason for doing the reserves is because you don't want to be away from your new family, you might want to think it over a bit more... World events and the needs of the DoD might have you away from home more than you think.

Best of luck, though... If I were in your shoes, I'd be trying to do exactly what you are.
