Army Reserve Enlistment/Advanced training question
I've always wanted to join the military but various life choices made it not happen. I'm now older (40) but honestly a better fit for the military now than I ever have been. The army reserves is the branch I'm looking at joining.
I'm looking at the position of religious affairs specialist. I know there is the 10 week basic training. It also calls for 7 weeks advanced training. Since this isn't a "field" job? (I think I'm describing that right) it looks like I'm able to do online courses for the advanced training. Is anyone able to confirm if that's the correct assumption?
If I'm not able to do it online, what is housing like at fort Jackson SC? I have a large family so would I be able to do get housing for my family? I know this may seem like a crazy idea for someone who is older and married with kids. But it's something I've always wanted to do, and I'm fit enough, mature enough, and disciplined. My faith and relationship with God are strong and I want to help others. This path would check a lot of boxes for me.
Any feedback is appreciated.
