I live in Oregon and am looking into joining a couple Reserve/Guard units. The goal is to do something mildly cool and have access to opportunities i wouldn't as a civilian. There is a Coast Guard reserve PSU in Washington and a 19th SF Support unit in Utah that both have jobs Id be interested in. (ME in the CG, or 35N or other 35 series in SF support).
Oregon does have some somewhat interesting units for the Army/Air guard, and CG, but those two above in particular seem cool
1. Will I grow to hate having to travel that far for drill? I don't mind driving much but wonder if other anons have experience here. Utah Guard SF reimburses travel for 35 series
2. Opinions on CG Reserve vs Guard SF support?
3. USERRA covers enlistment if I understand it correctly yes?
4. Should I abandon all of this and Larp instead
