If you come off of AD to the reserves are you exempt from AT?

No. These exemptions exist to ease the budget requirements of the unit and to aid soldiers who are in transition. If you are exempt, it won't count against your "good year". You're fine. If you just want to go, go for it. I enjoyed AT. It's a lot easier than my experince training in AD. And it's fun to watch some of the National Guard squirm.
And the pay ain't bad.

Oh, I see exactly how this happened.
"If you want to go, you'll have to volunteer. Do you want to go?"
"I guess. I don't really want to, but I wouldn't mind it either."
Later between first-line and 1SG: "We need more people for training."
"This guy can go." *Adds to list.
This sound plausible to you? Happened to me once or twice.

Didn't really go down just like that. The "I guess, I don't really want to, but...." came after I heard my name called. When I was trying to find out what happened. Supposedly the list came down from Battalion or Brigade.

You need to follow up with your chain. I suggest saving yourself the headache of trying to get out of it, and taking the money, unless you've got something else you need to do during AT.

During inprocessing I was told due to the points earned while on Active Duty for 2015 I would be exempt from Annual Training and could volunteer, if I wanted to. Last drill my name came down for an AT. If I have to go that's fine. I just want to know if I was mislead.
