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.
