Enlisted are treated differently than officers, and some MOS skills are automatic ready reserve while others are inactive.
I can not attest to exactly what Kerry experienced, but his DD214 should have all that.
I suspect that he recieved favored treatment from his relationships with the Kennedy's and likely skipped out legally on anything a normal vet would have done. The fact he was sent to a staff job for his last days attests to that. IMO.
PS, I hate his guts.BTW
