IT does suck
No this really does suck, and should not be trivialized. You are under house arrest. Plain and simple. No school runs no kids sporting events. No anything. Your ass is home. When they say home reserve, they mean HOME reserve. You must be out the door 30 minutes from the phone call. For those that are doing reserve once a year its a hiccup but for those of us that get this 3X a year and one week a month it is painful.
