I know some regular AD folks like to look down their noses at reservists, but if it helps I did start life as regular AD on day one (back when that was a thing) and made my own choices along the way. Not everybody who bailed on regular AD had a DUI.
I wasn’t attacking the fact the you were a reservist. I was stating the way things are (or at least were). If as a reservist you were in the office for a few days a month, you couldn’t own any program or process. We had reservists on EAD who brought lots of corporate knowledge from other areas of government who were just as competent as their AD peers.
