I never really looked into the Reserves for flying, but during my time I do not believe that I ever heard of off-the-street hiring in the USN/USMC Reserves like the AFR - and definitely not on my old community. I don't remember pilots coming out of retirement either.

No, but they took pilots from every branch. And sometimes there was no rhyme or reason to the selections.

Example: One board had a current C-9 NATOPS instructor among the candidates. For the two slots, the board chose a Marine TacAir guy and an Air Force helo pilot. Fortunately for the squadron, the Air Force guy couldn't get his interservice transfer through in time and we got the NATOPS IP. Saved us a boatload of training time and money.
