After your schooling a reservist goes to his home and serves his time one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year at his local USMC reservist station for the next six years.

An active duty Marine will go to his/her unit and serve every day for four years..

Reservist can be activated and will serve for (x) amount of time as needed or some of them have the option to volunteer for active stints..

Reserve duty is better suited for someone with a family or if they want to attend school.

Reserve duty is not for everyone the same way active is not for everyone.
