If so, is it the same for someone in the reserves?

Absolutely not! In fact, it is much easier to garnish the wages of a soldier than a civilian!

No they are not exempt. In fact it is easier to collect from them thatn from civilians becasue the milrtary will automaticaly uphold ANY courd ordered collection action and deduct the amout without even informing the person until they see their check is smaller. Known far too many peoply in the military that that happend to over the years....of course if you lodge an appeal then the jag officer gets involved and if the claim is bogus. the look out cause you Do NOT want t get on the bad side of military jag officers, I'll tell you THAT for nothing...

NO! Someone in the Military is NOT EXEMPT from collection of court judgements...
HOWEVER, the Soldier Sailor Act protects military persons from being prosecuted/judged while they are assigned outside of the USA.. until they return and can properly attend court.

You can delay the proceedings until you are reasonably available to return to the jurisdiction of the Court.
One the judgment is entered, you gotta pay. And, you might lose your security clearance if you don't.
Just being in the reserves isn't enough - you have to be on active duty and that duty prevents you from attending the Court.
Good luck to you

they are not exempt, in fact if their commanding officer finds out about the judgement they will make the service person pay it and punish them for having the judgement, even jail time, it will be taken out of his check until it is paid

No. The military will dock your pay in order to take care of the matter.

No they are not. just because you are in the mil. that does not make you above the law and you do the time you pay the crime.
