    Hi, I'm new to this thread and thought it would be a good place to ask a few questions before I make a Long drive to the recruiter. I am 30yrs old and I work for AT&T. I was interested in the depot program because it allows me to join the reserve without doing A school and boot camp is only 3 weeks. It looks like the IT rate is pretty much my civilian job, so I assume that would be the rate I am required to enter in. My question is if I live in the Chicago area, will I be close to home for my one weekend a month? The reason I ask is because from the research I've done it looks like cleveland Ohio is the closest unit for IT, but I don't know if that is for only enlisted o reserve also. I just had a daughter and I am married, So the only way I would join would be if I could minimize my time away from home ( of course I understand the potential for active duty) I don't really want to waste my, or the recruiters time if I couldn't do the IT rate close to home. Thanks

    IT sounds like you may be out of the reasonable commute distance for drilling as a reservist. Your recruiter will be able to tell you more. DEPOT is a possibility but keep in mind, you will probably still have to attend an IT "A" school depending on a few factors.

    Another issue is the rate needs to be available. If there are no IT openings in Cleveland then you cannot be assigned to the unit.

    Best bet is to contact a recruiter in your area, you will not be wasting there time as that is our job!

    I wish you the best!

    Do you know more about the depot program? I haven't found too much info. Is a school the same amount of time?
