Not exactly accurate. Additional short calls over your obligation pay 1 hour pay/credit (via 4 C.1.d Ex4, adding to your res guarantee), but also earn 2 hours pay/no credit under 23 S.3.b. Note that the 2:00 is due whether you are used or not.
There does not appear to be a requirement for every other reserve to be full of SC obligation to be awarded additional SC. The "ladder" of SC awards/assignments is 23 S.1.f. It appears that people who volunter for SC and have been awarded such in prior PCS runs are coverted regardless of the status of other pilots. According to FB, at least one pilot does this successfully to earn 10-12 SC per month. Assuming his obligation is 6, then that's 4-6 additional hours on the reserve guarantee, and another 8-12 hours of pay/no credit.
