Summary:

Reservists GAO surveyed cited a broad range of problems associated with their activation. These problems stemmed more from what they perceived as inequities in service call-up and assignment policies, coupled with what they saw as inadequate conditions at the installations where they were assigned, rather than from losses in income. Half the reservists GAO interviewed experienced a drop in income, however. About three-quarters of the 40 reservists said that they problems they encountered lowered their morale, and about one-quarter said that they would not reenlist.
