<prompt> Human: Something Ive never seen on this sub as a lurker. Military Reserves as a way to help personal finances.Situation: Im an attorney, 4 years out of law school. Working a state government job here in the Midwest in a very niche area. Its literally easiest money one can make as an attorney. Working toward the PSLF so I dont want to leave this job. Im married with a 1 year old. Im wanting to make some extra money, so Im trying to find some part time remote positions or contract work. Ive also always wanted to do something military related but havent been sure what. The desire to do more and contribute to a greater good has grown more lately and I have been considering joining the military reserves of some sort. So I could combine the desire to earn money and help out my country. Im curious about a few things:-which branch in general do folks recommend for reserve service? Be it monetary related, difficultyease, most interesting, etc, -given the fact that Im already a licensed attorney, can I just do that line of work in the military somehow? Prior to current job I was in private practice as well-are there major differences in basic training?  <response>: As an attorney, I am guessing you could probably direct commission as an officer into the Judge Advocate General JAG of whichever branch you want Army, Navy, Air Force. You would attend an officer basic course of some kind, which in your position would be a gentlemans course. All youd really have to do is make heightweight, pass a physical, pass a physical fitness test and commission. As a lawyer, there may be incentives to help pay off student loans, or other recruiting incentives. Of your serious about this, I,d google your nearest Army recruiter and find out the number and specific recruiter for your profession. Here is the link for the application process for the army.Good Luck!
