Hello all,
I am working with a recruiter to join the Army reserves. In the Army reserves, are you ever allowed miss a drill weekend and "make it up" another weekend? I'm trying to get a feel for the reality of being in the reserves since I'm coming from the private sector. Thank you.

Yes if you clear it with your command ahead of time you can RST a drill, the key is to let them know and see if they will approve it and will they have work for you. My old unit would ask your section leader or PLT sgt to provide sometime for the time slotted.

Yes but you have to work that out with your unit and leadership. It's really up to them how they want to handle this. Some units are very flexible and others are not - depends on the 1SG and CO.

It’s pretty common in fact. I wouldn’t make a habit of it though, you’ll fall behind in personal development and create a weak link in your unit. Different commanders have different policies on what is and isn’t an acceptable reason.
