Without the dates, we don't know if his reserve records were released or not.

5. Service: Past and Present
a. Active Service
b. Reserve Service
c. National Guard

Since he only wrote US Navy under "Active Service" and "all years", I would assume only "all years" that he was in "Active Service" would be released. If he had wanted Reserve Service to be released, would he not have filled in that block as well? Also, his discharge would have been from Reserve Service, no?

That's the way I'm reading it as well. Yes, his final discharge would have been from the reserves; he was in the reserves for a number of years after his active duty ended.

All the records should be in one place, St. Louis, as the instructions and the title for section I indicate, that information is only for purposed of identifying the individual. In section II he requested an Undeleted report of separation for "all years", which would include the reserve years. But as importantly, it would include his original DD-214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty), which should have been issued when he separated from active duty, not years later as the one he had on his campaign website appears to have been.
