OK, first of all, how can you get a result of "0" on a 1d6+2 rounded down? I'm guessing typo. Did they mean 1d6-2?

Secondly, why would reservists have better initiative potential than regulars? Weekend Warriors just that much more hype to be getting shot at?

Lastly, back to the rounding. What am I rounding? Am I supposed to add this die result to something then divide? Otherwise, I'm not rounding, I'm just rolling a dice and adding 2, plus or minus 1 depending on MOS.

Please help!
You are correct in believing they meant something different. It is 1D6 DIVIDED by 2.
