Reserve Reference Guide

2010-11-23T14:52:00.000-08:00

Got reserve questions? Did you know that there is a new resource being developed to answer your reserve related questions? The new Online Reserve Reference Guide currently covers a wide range of topics including reserve pay, entitlements, training, orders, berthing, retirement, uniforms and much more. Our goal is to develop a one-stop shop to answer all your reserve related questions. As development continues, we need your feedback to ensure we produce a useful product. Please take a minute to check out the Reserve Reference Guide and let us know what you think by completing the short 8 question survey on the Reserve Reference Guide homepage. Did we forget something? Let us know on the survey so we can add it as development continues. Help us make the Reserve Reference Guide what you need it to be! The Reserve Reference Guide can be accessed at: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg1/TracenPetaluma/FORCECOM.
