alicanto started the topic Drilling with an overseas job in the forum Junior Officer 6 years, 6 months ago
I’m currently still in OCS (week 9!) but I am thinking of the future after BOLC. I currently work for a winery in California, and I was thinking of getting experience learning how to make wine in France either in the fall of 2019 or a future year. I am curious as to how I should best accomplish while in the Reserve. Harvest generally begins from the tail end of August to the end of November (depending on the winery and grape). If I go overseas to intern with wineries abroad, how could I drill overseas? Is it possible to arrange it with units in nearby European countries? Or would I take a leave of absence for the days I would miss each month? (I’ve heard it is called RST when I drilled with my unit before Basic). What are your suggestions? I suppose I could even fly back to California for drill, even though that would be a lengthy process just to make it to drill. However I want to be in good standing.
