Active Duty vs Reserves: What’s the Difference?

[@markrodriguez4408]

nice seeing recruiters use social media and platforms such as youtube to reach the civilian population and inform them about joining the military. 🙏🏻

[@TSYONTZ]

Absolutely. It’s a great tool and way to minimize misconceptions and explain how things work

[@squishygaming3325]

Biggest difference between Active Duty and Reserves is the freedom. Reserves allows you to transfer units easier and IF you decide to go on active duty orders you have the freedom to choose from a pool of orders to go to duty stations such as Lejeune or Pendleton. There’s more freedom and so long as you get your hours in, then you’ll be good. Another thing is, outside of your AT, you’re not really guaranteed much MOS training because there’s admin paperwork and other things that you must do like dental, medical, audiology, range, and various other things. Also Active Duty Opportunities at least in my MOS are at minimum 9 months. You can get full benefits in the reserves if you get 3 years of active duty time to include your entry level training (boot camp, MCT, AIT)

[@itzerik21]

I have to go Reserves since I plan on going into the Sheriff’s office. But still respect the Active Duty individuals!

[@chadx8]

How has the reserves been?

[@4eplattaboii975]

This was really informative thanks, I am currently debating weather I want to go full time or reservist, my job currently pays me really good and I don’t want to just quit it so the reserves is looking good for me, and also I want to get a new car and if I join full time I have a feeling I won’t be able to pay it lol.

[@patboland1650]

What did you do in the end?

[@dubyusmc]

The Best of both worlds experience is a Marine Reserve who is activated to deploy in combat. There are also some opportunities for reserves to join active deployments. Some reservist are also prior full active Marines.

[@prodbymarx7906]

Much respect gunny

[@TSYONTZ]

I appreciate it man

[@richard3536]

Did 4 years active army first and 25 reserve . It benefited me .

[@SquatSimp]

Awesome video! Thank you Taylor

[@prescottosegie]

Good video Taylor keep up the good work 😎💪

[@ZacharyShipton]

I’m thinking about joining marine reserves and may talk to a recruiter this week. The reasons for joining reserves is so I can continue to work and go to school and I plan on getting married and starting a family here soon.

[@blacklistmaro]

So a question I have is my MOS going into the marines is logistics specalists is it likely I could get a job working in logistics on the cilvian side while being in the reserves making good salary?

[@notmadara8697]

Going to bootcamp in September

[@TSYONTZ]

Congrats! Be sure to watch my boot camp video for tips !

[@cooper2904]

I might see you there!

[@Enlightenmentcircle]

Good Information…

[@marckborre9062]

Great video! I have a questions and hopefully you can help me out with it. As a Marine in the reserve are you able to do additional trainings (not deployments) after you are done with your MOS School and you’re back in your hometown?

[@tekutaito9403]

That’s a great question, did you figure out the answer?

[@josephgarcia7296]

How hard is it to get into the Active reserves once in the reserves is it a long process?

[@Seventhmessiah]

Hey…. Can Reserves choose to work 2 to 3 times a week depending on your school schedule for more money ? And do they pay for housing?

[@christopherdaniel4784]

@Tyler you should do a stream on age limit and length of service is allowed in the Marine Corps

[@TSYONTZ]

ill write that down 🔥

[@keeganwilliams3264]

Is it possible to do reserves and not deploy any?

[@godsm3dic577]

Well.. this sucks considering I was going reserve to help out with bills and get me better benefits lol.

[@Chuked]

The reserves are more suited for younger people who likely want to join but want to also focus on their career or college/university

[@HighVibration777]

If the age requirement is cut off after your 28th birthday, is there anyway waivers are possible at 31??

[@westerncentristrants525]

Just a question... Is it possible to be in the army reserves while living abroad- as in live abroad commute regularly to your home unit for training?

[@kokopelli2781]

Is the Covid vaccination still mandatory when joining to marine corps? Or can you choose not to get it and still join?

[@TSYONTZ]

No loner mandatory. You can join today without the vaccine

[@SamS101-e6x]

Hey man, im having a tough time figuring out between Marine Reserves and National Guard, both infantry. What would you recommend?

[@njrm98]

Guard will have more money for training and schools plus better benefits

[@Rusty24k]

i wish i could join but i cant swim to save my life so its very unfortunate

[@Rusty24k]

also is it worth joining army national guard or marine reserves?

[@jointfreeman3971]

Learning is a thing and anyone can do it

[@hacheanzor6806]

Hi there , I am using blood presser medic and wanna apply for military rather Navi or army My question is can I get a wave for my using medic in first 6 weeks of training My blood presser is under control with using medic And my worry is dose military giving me a wave to use my medic during the training time ? Thanks in advance

[@BlackTrollsOfficalBand]

I wanna join the Marine Corp, but the recruiter told me I had to get my hand tattoo removed before I can. Is it possible for me to get a waiver for my tattoo maybe.?

[@TSYONTZ]

He’s right. We don’t allow hand tattoos, you have to have it 100% removed. No waivers.

[@Kayse_Kay]

Are artist tattoos allowed

[@gianpalacio5635]

How hard is to go active when you’re reserves?

[@righteous_entertainment8539]

From what I keep hearing is it’s easier to go active with certain jobs

[@masonp.1790]

Does an ACL injury resulting in surgery disqualify me?

[@TSYONTZ]

It does not. You just need to provide a recruiter with the necessary information (hospital visits, discharge paperwork, etc) so the doctors can review everything.

[@helloyou8497]

Is it possible of joining the Marines with a family

[@TSYONTZ]

Absolutely. Depends on how many kids though tbh.

[@helloyou8497]

@@TSYONTZ what’s the minimum?

[@TSYONTZ]

I’m unsure what you mean by minimum but you can be married and have a kid and be ok. If you have 2 kids you have to go reserves. 3+ kids and you’re not eligible

[@helloyou8497]

@@TSYONTZ disregard that question

[@SoniaLopez-z2s]

I want to join reserve army, the differences between the benefits as reserve to active duty ?
