1. This message announces important updates to the FY25 Reserve
active duty and inactive duty scheduling deadlines and waiver
requirements outlined in REFs (A) and (B) to maximize use of
available funds.
2. ACTIVE DUTY FOR TRAINING (ADT):
a. The deadline in paragraph 9.b. of REF (A) for members to
request ADT orders in Direct Access is changed to 31 May 2025.
Late requests are subject to the approval of District (dxr)/PAC-13
and COMDT (CG-R82), and are subject to funds availability.
b. The deadline in paragraph 9.c. of REF (A) for Districts (dxr)
to authorize and obligate funding for all ADT orders beginning in
FY25 is changed to 20 June 2025.
c. For the purpose of the ADT deadlines above, ADT includes
Active Duty for Training - Annual Training (ADT-AT) and Active Duty
for Training - Other Training Duty (ADT-OTD).
d. Every effort shall be made to obligate funding for Initial
Active Duty for Training (IADT) by the 20 June 2025 deadline.
IADT orders beginning on or after the deadline shall be authorized
as soon as practical.
3. INACTIVE DUTY:
a. The deadline in paragraph 12.b. of REF (B) for members to
schedule all types of inactive duty in Direct Access is changed to
31 May 2025.
b. To maximize scheduling flexibility, paid drills should be
scheduled directly by the member and must remain in a pending
status (i.e. scheduled but not approved by a supervisor) to enable
members to edit (i.e., reschedule) drill dates without requiring a
drill waiver.
c. For the purpose of the inactive duty deadline above, inactive
duty includes Inactive Duty Training (IDT), Readiness Management
Periods (RMP), Additional Training Periods (ATP), Additional Flying
and Flight Training Periods (AFTP), and Funeral Honors Duty (FHD).
4. INACTIVE DUTY WAIVERS: Waiver requests outlined in paragraph 14.b
of REF (B) should not be expected, but will be considered with
final approval based on funds availability at the time the request
is received by COMDT (CG-R82).
5. All other requirements and responsibilities in REFs (A) and (B)
are not changed by this update and remain in effect.
6. Shifting the scheduling deadlines one month earlier allows
COMDT (CG-R82) to more accurately estimate the total costs required
in FY25, which will maximize available drills with available
funding.
