“…While scholars have characterized reservists using such images as transmigrants, moonlighters, weekend warriors, or part-timers, what is still lacking is an integrative summary that not only summarizes findings but illuminates their implications for reserve service. This synthesis is all the more important, given the significant diversity among reservists in terms of the kind of motivations driving them to join and be retained (Griffith, 2018), with some individuals joining to take up a job different from their civilian one (Neuhaus & Crompvoets, 2013;Weitz, 2007) and others seeing reserve duty as a break or diversion from civilian life or a place to renew connections with buddies (Bury, 2019a(Bury, , 2019bEtzion et al, 1998;Lording, 2013). Moreover, as deployment may lower the income of many individuals (Griffith, 2018), Lording (2013) suggests that the motivations of the reservists she studied combined considerations of both volunteering and income-seeking.…”
