He is currently the Senate representative on the Virginia Military Advisory Council to the Governor (VMAC), the reconstituted Commission on Military Installations and Defense Activities (COMIDA), and in 2016 was appointed to the Secure Commonwealth Panel. Reeves is a member of the Board of Veterans Services and the WWI and WWII Commemoration Commission and Advisory Council. 

In 2016, the National Rifle Association presented Reeves with the Defender of Freedom Award for his work to restore and expand reciprocity rights in Virginia. The Virginia Citizens Defense League has given him a 100% rating in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and a 98% rating in 2016.
