Hi Jean, It's been a while since I was on since my son left the Reserves 1 ½ years ago. By now you know the hardest thing about the Reserves is getting administration stuff done. Hope your sons reserve duties have gone well so far. We are all praying for our military  - all branches, active and reserve.  But Proud? So proud!

C'sMom, there will be a mix of rates at the NOSC, and other resources available.

C'sMom, when your son finishes A school he will return home and report to the local Naval Operations Support Center (NOSC). He will have one drill weekend a month, and it's usually the same weekend unless there's a federal holiday that weekend. He will spend that weekend at the NOSC, unless he's lucky enough to live near a base where the MA's are attached and can drill. He is obligated to do 2 weeks a year of annual training, this could be anywhere in the country or world, but he does get a choice. He can do more than 2 weeks, some Reservists manage it so they basically are on continuous orders, it just depends on what he really wants to do.

This doesn't look like an active group.  Is there any way I can get a little information.  My son is a reservist, presently at San Antonio waiting to start MA A school.  When he finishes, he will be coming back to Michigan.  What does it look like after that?  I know he does one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer, correct?  But how does that work?  And is it always the same weekend of each month?  On the weekends, do they stay local?  Of course, probably each rate is different.  I don't even know the proper terminology for reservists.  Will be be in a group (division?) with other MAs, or will there be a mix of rates?  He said when he gets back, he will need to report to a city not to far from where we live.  Is that probably the only place in the state that reservists report, or is it different for each rate?

My son has finished 5 years of active duty and has begun 3 years of Reserves. Can someone help us with medical/dental insurance questions? Is he still covered by Tri-care or does he have to purchase something? He's having a LOT of problems getting info, even his military computer access has been delayed over 6 months! Thanks.
