However, my civilian career is more demanding than most as far as time commitment. I&#39;m wondering if 37F current optempo would put too much on my plate. Although, the job sounds right up my alley!

The OPTEMPO depends very much on what COCOM your unit is supporting. If you are supporting PACOM, expect a lot of missions, if you are supporting CENTCOM, expect very few. Everyone else is somewhere in between.<br /><br />One advantage to serving in PYSOP is that the missions (your AT) is spread throughout the year rather than everyone going for two weeks in the summer like most USAR units. This may allow you to commit to a mission that is during a slower period at your civilian job.

I'm also CA and have had the same experience regarding AT and work. Plus, I have found it very easy to be motivated to do a little more when I'm surrounded by the quality of people that tend to go CA (and PSYOP).

As part of a PSYOP Battalion staff (S3 and XO), I had a lot of fragmented AT (not 2 weeks consectutive) that enabled me to do more than 14 days. That did make it easier for me to take the time off from work. I also think the training opportunities will be greater and more diverse in a PSYOP (MISO) unit vs. regular USAR units. Regardless of your unit, you need to make sure you communicate clearly with your employer to minimize conflicts with the work environment.
