What the difference between Army and Army reserve

Answer 1

In the Army you are a soldier every day. In the reserve you go one weekend a month and for two weeks in the summer (plus any time you are called to active duty, such as trips to Iraq). The Army Reserve is similar to the National Guard, but does not have a state mission, only the federal mission.  

Answer 2

Pretty much what dude said. The Army is a full time commitment for how ever long the enlistement period is. Typically they are four years but it varies.

Army Reserves is part time. One weekend a month and two full weeks a year. BUT keep in mind with the reserves just because it is part time, you can still be pulled in to go to war or whereever else for however long they may need you for.

Answer 7

Army is full time, Im in the TA which is a reserve force and its not just one weekend a month. this month im away 3 weekends out of 4. it all depends on what weekends you can make and what weekends you cant.

the more you put in the more you get out.

in the TA you do one week night each week and at least one weekend per month you can do more if the weekend are available.

one weekend per months is what is expected of you.
