If you’re planning a career move by separating from active duty and already have a separation date, but would still like to continue to serve, the Air Force Reserve may be right for you.
Master Sgt. Christian M. Jorg, Air Force Reserve in-service recruiter for the KMC, is available for anyone looking to continue their career or begin a new career in the Air Force Reserve.
“I discuss the opportunities and options that the Air Force Reserve can offer them and, if they choose to come aboard, then I help them locate a position and get them squared away prior to their separation,” Sergeant Jorg said.
He also assists individuals who have never served in the military but have a desire to serve and prior-service members interested in returning as an Air Force reservist.
“I help them with all parts of the transition,” Sergeant Jorg said. “From finding them a position in the unit of their choice, to making sure the assignment action is updated with the Air Force Personnel Center to ensure a smooth transition into the reserve.”
Aside from honoring the warrior ethos, the Reserve offers benefits resembling those of active-duty servicmembers.
“We offer Tri Care Reserve Select Medical Coverage,” Sergeant Jorg said. “It is a premium based health care plan that allows Air Force Reserve members to have full comprehensive health coverage for themselves and families.”
The Reserve also offers servicemembers group life insurance, the thrift savings plan, full base access and access to the education center along with 100 percent tuition assistance.
Being a part of the Reserve allows more time with families and a civilian career.
“It is a great way to continue to serve without the everyday commitment that active-duty places on an individual,” Sergeant Jorg said. “It allows you to still have those parts of the Air Force life you enjoyed while still being able to focus on family, education and your civilian career.”
Reserve members are required to work one weekend a month and two weeks a year totaling 39 days.
The Air Force Reserve recruiting office is located on Ramstein in Bldg. 2106, Room 420, and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Anyone interested in joining the Reserve is encouraged to call 480-3940 to make an appointment.
