My initial interview with my recruiter went well for a MST billet. Still at the beginning of this process but two questions I thought I'd pose to the community. I asked my recruiter but his answer, especially on the first question, was a little vague.
--In the event that I am called up for active duty, what is the likelihood I would be in anything remotely like a combat situation. I know reserves were called up for Iraq but imagine the vast majority of them were involved in support roles only.
--Related question: do MSTs even go through weapons training in boot camp?
--What is the highest rank a reservist can achieve?
--Can a reservist ever transfer into a full-time position in active duty Coast Guard?
