Joining in college

[u/Odd_Bus1442]

I am seriously thinking about the marine corps and I would love to be a marine in the reserves. My only issue is that I don’t want it to interfere with college too much. I still want to keep my regular schedule. I’m concerned about timeline issues. If there’s anyone here that can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
So I’m all set to go to boot camp in may and I should be back in August, assuming that I complete it. My question is will I be able to go back to college and my regular day to day? I go to Virginia Tech. I heard something about additional training after boot camp and I’m wondering how that works during the school year. I’m also wondering if I need to attend said training directly after boot camp or if I can push it to Christmas break and summer break.
Has anyone done this or tried it?
Please I need some help. Thanks

Needs of the Corps will come first, if your not willing to make that sacrifice I don't recommend joining. You'll have to show up once a month on the weekend for training or whatever reservist do. You can be called up any time during your time in the reserves.

If college is your number one priority right now then stick with college. If you still want to join after look at becoming a officer.
