Not sure if I would list Active Duty Military if I am a reserve

I am a reservist who was on Title 10 orders for 9 months of last year and worked for my civilian employer for the other 3 months.  After I have entered my information for the W2, there is another question which asks if any of these items apply.  The first question says, "These wages were earned on Active Duty".

If you were asked this question after entering your DFAS W-2, then answer "Yes", "These wages were earned on Active Duty".

There are a number of other questions about your military status. It won't make any difference whether you choose "Active" or "Reserve" for these status questions; the program will ask the same questions, just in a slightly different order.
