Hi everyone, I am currently planning on enlisting as a 15T in the reserves while in college. I was wondering what a typical drill weekend is like for that MOS? Also, do reservists get assigned to active Aviation Battalions or reserve ones?

I am not sure that this MOS has reserve slots. I bet only in the national guard, where you take care of their birds. I may be wrong.

The Army website (goarmy.com) and a recruiter I met with both say it is for reserve, guard or active duty, although I have not been able to find anyone who has this MOS in the reserves as of now.

I currently work for one of the Reserve Aviation units. Drill weekends for this unit usually encompass trainings of all sorts from 350-1 Annual stuff, to range time, and emphasis on flight academics. For this unit, they try to put new Tangos on 90-day orders for progression flights. After that, you fly your mins...sometimes over drill weekend, sometimes not. When not doing the mandatory training, the Tangos will do some maintenance, but in all honesty the civilians handle 90-95% of the actual maintenance tasks. As I said, this is for my unit that I support. The other units may have a different system.

Go Guard. Way better benefits package than the reserve and you will know the unit you will be going into. Just be prepared for a longish AIT if you are already in school.
