I would say his career in the Reserves ends at the rank of Corporal.

Yes, this was a really bad idea.

How often does the military remind service members against the prohibition of campaigning while representing or even appearing to represent the US military?

Basic training?

At the start of every election season?

I work for the Army and yesterday we received a blanket email to civilians and soldiers alike that outlined what we can and cannot do in regards to elections. Our JAG folks are on top of it and keeping everyone up-to-date. A nice friendly reminder to keep us out of trouble.

Yes, and yes. I was a voting rep in my unit many times throughout my Air Force years... not only do trainees get this guidance, but everytime a major election comes around, everyone gets a reminder NOT to endorse candidates or engage in partisan politics while in uniform. However, you may, in uniform, make a point about the importance of exercising voting rights.

Yes as to all. Just no excuse for this.
