Reserves

I've searched through and did not find many threads about the reserves with useful information. Most are old so figured I would start a new one just to get some basics answered.

Is application process the same as full-time? Any reimbursement for certification costs?

Are reserves assigned a zone or do they just float around wherever?

Minimum hours per month?

Are you assigned a vehicle or do you have to check one out each time you go 10-8?
