Sailing Instructor is not totally off base with his "off duty reservist = civilian" comment
What I'm sure he was referring to was not of a reservists competency or professionalism, but rather his or her legal status. When off duty, reservists aren't subject to the NDA, and I'm under the impression that they have civilian-esque freedoms when off duty that they don't have when in uniform, and regular force folks don't have at all, such as the right to run for public office.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't take it as an insult or an attack.
