If you want to make money it's great but for us northerners who like to enjoy our 3 months of summer with as much time off as possible, these classes of 10 are not ideal. I think you are right though, they must have calculated the cost of steady GS awards to be less than the cost of carrying excess reserves, QOL be damned.
A bunch of green slips are cheap compared to hiring a soul with full benefits and potentially 30+ years of earning potential.
