They don't just ask for 90 days. You sign a very official delta piece of paper stating you don't have any personal or military commitments in the next 90 days.
To answer your question: yes you can fly all you want while you are off the delta clock.
For all the ang/mil lurkers out there:
You will get sim schedule during indoc and that is practically etched in stone. Mil dropping at that point is really not an option unless "the balloon goes up" for real. Chances are you will get approximately 2-4 weeks off between indoc and sim training and can do some flying then (I did plenty to help pay the bills).
Tread very lightly with the mil drop thing. The delta mil liaison folks will stress at indoc that they want you to get through sim training, OE and consolidation (100 hours in type) before mil dropping.
Mil drop after that will be expected to be done prior to the delta schedule being complete for the next month. Mil drop can be accomplished after that but is not wise during probation. This will be covered in depth during indoc.
My Rec is to absolute min run reserve time first six months or so. You bros in the ang/res should support that.
