Heh.

I thought that was kinda funny, because I remember the last time I witnessed a person that needed to be corrected on his misapprehension that reservists were the last-ditch, break-glass-in-case-of-emergency throw-aways, like they were aerial militia or something. He was an Army buck sergeant on a USAF C-130 from a 'Reserve' unit, and made the mistake of saying something off-color to the flight deck as he was going out the hatch, like 'Not a bad flight for a part-time crew', and MAN!, did he ever get told some gospel!
