Returning Reservists
Hi everyone!
My boyfriend is returning from his A school in Illinois very very soon! As excited as I am, I wanted to know if anyone else has gone through the process of their reservist returning to civilian life. When he fly's home, is there a debriefing process he will have to do at his assigned site? He has heard from different people that it takes two weeks to go from active to reserve and that he will need to stay at his reserve site the full two weeks he comes home. Any information can help us, thank you!

SwimCoach, My son is reserve also. I haven't heard about him spending 2 weeks there but it could be a possibility. My son told me that when he leaves A school that he has 72 hours to report to his reserve center. Maybe others will be able to help in clarifying this.

My daughter just graduated from A school in August. She flew back on a Friday and reported to her reserve station Saturday morning. Spent about 6-7 hours there doing paperwork, etc. and then was allowed to come home to finish out the rest of her active duty time - which was about 2 weeks or so. (My understanding was she had leave that she took for those 2 weeks and when that was done, she was released from active duty - I may not be correct on that though). Hope that helps. She was told the same thing initially too - that she would have to stay at the reserve station until she was released from active duty. I realize all reserve stations may not be the same and may have different procedures. She really likes the command at her station and so far they have been very helpful. Hopefully that will continue!
