When you report for active duty, if you have served 4 years in the reserves, your longevity will count, i.e. if you enter as an E-2 you will be getting paid for over 4 years of service, and would be entitled to a hash mark, this is what is called your PEBD or Pay Entry Base Date, I dont have the figures handy but, it would mean you would start out with a base pay higher than your contemporaies with no previous service. This question your recruiter will be able to answer for you, since he or she has all the current pay scales with them. So over the years if you should retire it could mean a lot of money that you would receive for your extra reserve duties. Plus when you retire i.e. instead of getting paid for your pay grade with over 20 you will be getting paid for your retirement grade of over 24 years. Hope this clears up the problem for you, keep your DD214 so you can show this to the recruiter when go active.

No.
You get full active duty pay and benefits for the four years you are on active duty.
If you go into the active reserves, you get drill pay for your weekend drills and full active duty pay for the two weeks during the summer.
If you go into the inactive reserves, you get nothing but still are subject to recall to active duty during that four year period. If you are in an AFSC that they really need, you could potentially serve all eight years of your enlistment on active duty.

No. Only if you were recalled to Active Duty. If you chose to go reserves for those 4 years,your pay and bennies would be comperable( the one w/e a month 2 weeks a year for payment purposes)

NO. You only get paid when you are active duty. If you reenlist for the remaining 4 year obligation than sure you will get paid. If not you get zero pay and zero benefits except the use of your GI Bill. No base priviledges, no medical, no anything.

wouldn't that be sweet... but no you don't... but if you pay into the GI bill when you join, when you get out if you go to school the military will send you a check every month. And when you go to buy a home one day you can qualify for a VA home loan... those are quite nice. But once you get out those are pretty much the only perks.

ABSOLUTELY NOT Don't you think if you got paid for doing nothing, the reserves would be filled to overflowing with men and women wanting to "serve their country"?

It's a six year committment. You get two years of inactive duty.
