did your recruiter tell you that?
As a junior LCpl you'll be lucky to bring home about $300-$350 on a long drill weekend out in the field(8-9 drill points).
As a 6+ year Sergeant I bring home about $500 on a long drill weekend after taxes, health insurance, and SGLI(life insurance). Most drill weekends are short 4 drillers where I will net about $300.

Recruiters are pushing the reserve side because the active duty side is being drawn down (as you know). It's cheaper.
Because of the drawdown as well, there are fewer reenlistment options (as already mentioned). Lots of Marines (some with families) with career aspirations are being let go - regardless of their service record. Nothing wrong with hoping for a military career, but it's not something one should plan on anymore. You should always have a plan B.
