Still a good idea. Plus you'll make some cash while you're in school, always a good thing.
I agree with what you say.
What I guess I was actually getting at was if you stay in the reserve during college, and then go reserve after the initial commitment, then the college reserve years count towards your twenty years active/reserve for an age 60 reserve retirement.
