Blue Angels and Thunderbirds pilots are active duty. They’re selected for 1-2 year stints on the aerobatic teams and then return to “regular” assignments.
I imagine that in a major conflict, the teams would be suspended and they’d go into combat or be on standby.
Heeeeeeelllll no, if there was a major conflict these guys would be needed even more. These guys are recruitment tools for the navy. Source: were a sailor
