What is are the reserve currency hours?

2-83

A

Reserve currency requirements are built to 83 percent of what the active duty component must accomplish in a year.

Specifically, underway hours for reserve currency are a total of 66 hours per annual cycle, with a minimum of 17 hours at night. A Reserve member that certifies or recertifies after 01 July would be within the last half of the currency cycle and would not have to complete the minimum proficiency requirements for the respective period.
