Report Abuse. A UTA is a 4 hour period in the National Guard; a drill weekend is usually 4 UTAs, or a MUTA 4. You will have a maximum of 48 UTAs in a year, but your unit may allow you to skip a few for extenuating circumstances. CI Guy is referring to the 50 points you need to have a good year for retirement purposes. You will get 15 points just for belonging to the National Guard; one point (and one day pay) per UTA; one point and one day of pay for the 15 days Annual Training; and one point and one day of pay for any additional active duty training you do.
Your SAT years in the reserve do not count for the active duty retirement because they are based on inactive duty points. You need 7200 active duty points to get the active duty retirement.That number comes from (360 days * 20 years).Check out your CRCR on MOL to see your number of active duty points. am pretty sure it has to be 4 years of active duty service since day for day you get more experience as an active duty member than a typical drilling reservist. As you said, you have about 400 days. That's just one year and about 2 months max. It will count towards TIS for pay though.
