I have been in all three branches of the Army; active, guard, and reserves. It really all depends as a person could be in the guard and/or reserve while also fulfilling their exact same MOS as an active guard or tech employee* (I have done so in the state of Hawaii before). Tusli's MIL background, and depending on her specific AoE, her being in the reserves doesnt mean much alone as she could be doing far more training in other areas than those who are active Army and may have not deployed in 3-6yrs time, never being reassigned to another duty station. She was Guard for 17yrs, then switched to a CA reserve unit.

So her service started in 2003 and continues. I don't know how long or often she was deployed, but since 2001 the mil has been deploying Guard and Reserves whenever they felt like it. It would not surprise me if she had several tours to the arena. It's not like it used to be when I was serving, where you could join the reserves and sort of hang out every once in a while and only maybe go somewhere for a week or two each year. They were leaned on a lot.

Also they get the same training, the same basic training, and whenever their reserve duty happens she (being MI) is probably deep in the shit.

BTW - she started in the Guard and moved to the Reserves in 2020. She actually was enlisted until she went to OCS. She worked with a medical group as enlisted, then was an MP when she became an officer. She didn't start the PSYOP stuff until she transferred to the Reserves. Officially anyway. Seems like a strange career move, but I've seen worse. I worked with computers and security but when I went Reserve they wanted me to load pallets for planes and make boxed lunches for the pilots. Nope - I left.
