    If your in the Military Reserve...can you sell back benefits?

    what benefits are you talking about? If you are in the reserves, you have Tricare (Health Insurance) which cost roughly 50 a month for single and 200 for family, this is optional and not required. If you were active duty it would cost you nothing. Hope that helps.
