What is the basic service requirement?
Traditional Reservist service requires a minimum commitment of one weekend a month and two weeks every year. However, flexible drilling options may be made available. Contact a Navy Reserve Recruiter about how the Navy Reserve can best fit your lifestyle. If you are a military veteran, you can join for periods ranging from two to six years, and you can extend your Navy Reserve contract up to an additional four years. For individuals with no prior military service, an initial eight-year commitment is required.
