So I have a pretty straightforward question. I am in the process of transitioning out of the Army and trying to build my civilian career. I am going to school for international politics, and without being too certain of the exact path I plan to take, I do know I am headed in that direction.
That being said, I have about a year and a half left as an Army reservist, and I was offered a pretty awesome position as a State Coordinator of a super PAC, for a 2016 presidential candidate I am very interested in. I know there are rules regarding political involvement in such things, so my question is, can I accept such a job? Obviously, it would have to remain outside the military, out of uniform and not be brought to drill weekends, but so long as I keep my political life separate is this appropriate?
Respectfully,
SPC Jensen, Isaac A

Performing your duties just as you said, out of uniform, not a hint of military influence, and you are good too good!!! You are legally a civilian, with all all rights of such, when you are not on ADT or performing drills.

As long as your work at the super PAC and the reserve unit don't conflict you are fine. Don't talk politics while on duty is the only advice I have.
