Officers meet in a paid status one weekend each month.
Our normal monthly drills occur in West Los Angeles and El Toro. A tour with the Selective Service System will permit an officer to gain a full retirement year including 13 days of annual training. With the exception of occasional state or regional conferences you can structure annual training to occur whenever you want and most of your annual training time will occur in and around your local community. You may have some questions as to how being assigned to the Selective Service System might affect your Army career and Army promotions inasmuch as this would be an assignment to a unit not composed exclusively of Army personnel. Under the Department of Defense reorganization act of 1986 all branches of the DOD are encouraged to assist officers in gaining joint service experience.
