Default Reserves and School

Hi all,

I have recently been offered a pilot spot with a Reserve unit and I am hoping that I can be off to OTS in the October to January timeframe; from what I have been told.

With that being said....
My question is, as a part time pilot in a Reserve unit, would it be feasible to plan on going to grad school? I am looking at a medical graduate level school that requires full time study for 27 months year round, and requires an agreement from students that students "should not" work more than 12 hours a week due to school committments. I would want to be fair to the unit and my studies, but obviously the unit would come first.

I know things differ from unit to unit and that I will just have to wait and see when the time comes, but I was hoping to get some opinions about whether or not this would be something remotely possible, or if I should just step away from the crack pipe.

Also, does anybody know if the Reserve has any sort of tuition assistance for officers?

Thanks
