I still havent picked a carreer, so I have my options open. What will I be doing there as a mental health specialist? Honestly? Will I be rescueing people or what? Would I be in a base?

Wow! awesome that was my first pick for the army reserves when i joined but they didnt have any in the area and for the army reserves the base has to be within 50 miles of your house. As a 68x you will be working with pshchologist and social workers to help people with mental disorders for example post traumatic stress that supposebly 1 in 3 soldiers are affected by. You will counsel them and record how they are doing over a course of time. Once you gain rank you will aid in training soldiers on how to help someone with a mental disorder. You would most likely be assigned at a base hear or overseas. Good luck and god bless you!
