The tech reservists will serve for around 120 hours a year. Because of their private-sector status, each will carry the rank of lieutenant colonel.
There will be other dispensations for the technology officers. They will have more flexibility than the average reservist to work remotely and asynchronously, and will be spared basic training.
This pisses me off so much and I hope it makes the military livid too. Most people put their heart and soul into the work they do in basic training and officer training and even break into tears when they receive their new rank. These assholes are gonna take a fitness test and become officers?!?
What’s the point of that? Don’t soldiers work alongside civilian contractors all the time?
