I made an insane amount doing nothing on reserve last month. 4:17 pay per reserve day times 18 days + all short calls unused + late built short calls + under 2 hour reports gave me a great paycheck. They might own you, but at least you get paid crazy for it. Living in base, it didn't crimp my lifestile beyond what reserve typically did.
