What changed in this edition

This document has been revised and should be completely reviewed. It adjusts guidance to reflect the change per the FY2022 National Defense Authorization Act, Section 415, Accounting of Reserve Component Members Performing Active Duty or Full-time National Guard Duty Towards Authorized End Strengths, which was amended from ‘‘1095 days in the previous 1460 days’’ to ‘‘1825 days in the previous 2190 days”. The previous restrictions to the use of Additional Training Periods have been removed in accordance with DoDI 1215.06, Uniform Reserve, Training and Retirement. Additional Ground Training Periods have been included as a subset of Additional Flying and Flight Training Periods, and flying training information has been updated. The authorized use of Desktop Anywhere on personal computers to access privacy act information has been added. Obsolete references to Chaplain Candidates as Category J have been removed and updated. Current Military Parental Leave Program and Reserve Component Maternity Leave guidance has been added in accordance with updates to DAFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, and the Under Secretary of Defense Memorandum regarding Changes to Command Notification of Pregnancy Policy, dated 16 February 2023. Retirement points for completion of Joint Knowledge Online courses have been added

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
