I am applying to join USAF Reserves & Air National Guard. That comes from a longstanding desire to serve, which is now further crystalized given the global events facing our country (Russian hacking of US elections, etc.) I am already 10 years post MBA, so my role in finance has become somewhat established. Is it feasible to do the part-time national service while working in finance? It won't be IBD, but rather VC/PE, so the time commitment might be manageable. Of course, if there's deployment then all bets are off finance-job-wise, and you go serve the national as needed.

I don't think you can join both. They are different entities. Are you applying to both, but are going to pick one?

Thanks for the input. I know I cannot go to both - I will go where and if I am successful in my application. My question to WSO was more about whether it is possible to keep holding down a finance job while serving. Not sure if anyone else has this concurrent experience.
Yeah its definitely doable.
@earthwalker7" any update on this? did you go through with it/get accepted?
For anyone wondering, I know someone who did IB then went to PE while being in the Army reserves. He used his Army requirement as a break from work. They can't fire you/tell you, you can go away for the weekend or for your 2-3 weeks every year. That was his way of having a guaranteed weekend away from finance work.
Does he get vacation time on top of the training?
of course.
