I was a reserve before I went full time and I am in an auxiallary now. Sounds like you'd enjoy it. Aside from your wife's opinion, what are the other possible negatives? Many depts have different policies for their reserve officers and training programs can be very different. Some require officers to be certified by the state, while others have in-house training programs. There are still a few that will swear you in without much training at all, but almost all of them will require you to pass a physical, qualify with a weapon and go through some type of background check.
Good Luck!
