Is anyone here in the military reserves and working at a top-10, public accounting firm? I am a CPA, and I am thinking about staying in or getting out the reserves. I don’t know what I want at this point, and I am having a hard time making decisions.

Why do you want to get out? Does the drill schedule interfere with work schedule?

We had a few when I was at crowe.

I am a retired Navy Supply Corps Reserve Officer, who put in 30 plus years. With Medicare and Tricare for life, military pension, and Social Security, I made the correct decision for my wife and me.
I also utilized GI Bill to pay for an Accounting Degree and MBA. From Happy Mil Retiree.

If you have a family take a look at what the cost of your medical insurance would be. I’m paying a lot for my family plan and have considered joining the reserves for cheaper insurance.

Tricare Reserve Select is better than any medical insurance you'll get at as an employee at any company, but it really should be about more than that.

Yes, the GI Bill is awesome, too. If you, your spouse, or your kids are going to need more college education.

It really should be about being a part of something bigger and doing your part for the country.
