Thanks, jeckrn, for taking time to answer my questions. Now if I go active, do I have to stay at base with my wife? or there is another option ?

Hi everyone. I'm thinking about joining the army as an RN. I have BSN and 1 year of experience in Med/Surge. I talked to a health care recruiter, but I can't decide if I should join the active or reserve. My wife and I just have a baby. We also have mortgage payments of the house we bought last year. I live in Houston, and my recruiter said that it's difficult to put me in a unit in Houston; therefore, I may have to be with a unit in San Antonio, which is about 4 hours driving from Houston. I also was just accepted into a MSN program, which I really want to finish, but I need to work to support my family. I want to do the reserve, but my recruiter adviced me to go active. Will any Army nurse here give me some advice? I think joining the reserve works best for me, but is it possible to work, go to school part-time and fulfill your duty? How about training and drilling ?Can I request to do drills in Houston? Now, if I go active, do I have to stay at the base and go home when I have time off? or my wife has to move to the base with me? Any advice or comment is greatly appreciated.
