I can't help you out when it comes to going AD from Reserves, except to say you'd probably end up behind the stick of a UAS right now.

However I can tell you I can count the number of happy AD pilots I know on about 2 fingers and the number of unhappy reservist pilots I know on zero fingers. You do the math. This is coming from a purely AD perspective, but if you want to fly and see interesting places while defending your country, go Guard or Reserve. I promise every cool job you have ever heard that the Air Force does is done by a guard or reserve pilot. Want to go to Antarctica on a C-17. Go guard. Want to be a Hurricane Hunter go reserve.

AD does a lot of desk work (around 95% of my job is doing what was once an enlisted guys job) and going to the Died and no where else. (Around 90% of my flights after UPT are out of there.) Though the job security is better, you WILL NOT be a pilot on AD. If what you want to do is fly stay the heck away from AD like the plague.
