Being a Platoon Leader in the USAR, I have went many hours doing work unpaid. I am a full believer that if you want your soldiers to be taken care of as well as be successful, you have to sacrifice and work many unpaid hours. I wake up everyday thinking of how to make my platoon and unit better. Because of this, I am a full believer that being a Reservist, is active duty with less funds. Some leaders in reserves sign out one weekend and never think about their unit until the next weekend they have training. How do you become successful that way?

You may think you have lesser funds if you follow the money trail from the Department of Army, however you do have community resources with businesses, non-government and government agencies with resources.
Collaborate with these organizations for possible future events. Your role off-duty would support your vision as you lobby and collaborate with other organizations.
Examples of the like; Local Fire House, Red Cross and County Disaster training. Check out fundraising and community activism while off-duty. You may want to organize a softball or pool n dart team with your reserves to stay in communication. Get with other SM/Reserve people and find out what they are doing to stay motivated in the reserve organization. Your local VSO veteran service officer at the county may also give you some leads.

When I picked up TSgt and then MSGT in the la. Ang I found that I was putting more and more time at home.
It part of the way it is. If you want to do a good job, then you do what you gotta do. A good CO and Chief will region ooze what you are doing.
I agree that the full time staff must also tear it as more than a 9-5 job and that drum weekends are a pain
