About the Job
Many things in life help you succeed. Make joining the Naval Reserve one of them. Proudly supporting both our nation and our part-time reservists, the Naval Reserve offers many benefits that will help you advance your career and enhance your overall life. Usually, all it takes is just one weekend a month and two weeks annual training a year. To join, candidates must be willing to complete an eight-year commitment to military reserve service. Candidates need not have prior military service to apply. Reservists must be U.S. citizens between the ages of 21 and 36; however, under certain conditions, an age waiver may be available up to age 39. Candidates must pass a physical entrance exam.
