I’m in my mid 30s and make 6 figures in IT. I’m considering joining the Air Force Reserves. Is this a stupid idea?

I always regretted not enlisting in my 20s as I feel a strong personal drive to serve my country. I feel that a part time enlistment would fill that void. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.

I absolutely agree, and I already do plenty of volunteerism in my community. Enlisting part-time wouldn’t change that.
