I am half way through the 90 days of terminal leave before my end of active service and beginning a new path into civilian life and the Select Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR). There are many differences between active duty and reserves that I have learned through experiences and research. For those who have made the switch, please share your experiences and advice.

Expect to have to stay on top of annual requirements and NCOERs because the units often drop the ball.

Check emails often, ask a lot of questions, being your records with you to your first drill, and be prepared to wait a while for TA50 and other issued items (if you have your own it helps tremendously), supply has to request stuff for you.
