This right here is the difficulty for Reserve/Guard aircrew. Most of our own families don't understand that our minimum commitment is far beyond the "One weekend a month" on the TV commercial, and I know there are recruiters that hide this from guys looking into enlisted aircrew too. 5 days a month is bare minimum in most airframes...a chief pilot at an airline understands that is needed to stay proficient in a second jet type; a guy who manages in a corner office next to a bunch of cubes...not so much.
