Some months they might have a MUTA 6, 7 or 8. It all depends on what the tasking for that month is. That means that he could be gone on Friday or even Thursday.
Your typical MUTA 4 drill weekend is 0700 Saturday til about 1700 hrs Sunday. Then the EM has 8 hrs before s/he has to report back to their civilian employer for their next shift.
Ask for his/her annual training schedule. That may change over the course of the year, but it'll give you an idea of when they'll be needed for their Guard job
Seriously? The man is asking because he's clueless about military reserves (no offense, OP) and you load him down with Army acronym crap? I've been Navy for 22 years, 14 of that reserve, and I don't understand three quarters of what you just said. Nice job. How about something he can understand? Oh wait...already been done.
ETA: Since this is GD, page 2 ownership.
You have a point, although you could have pointed it out a bit nicer. How did you Navy Reservists label your Unit Training Assemblies?
OP, a normal drill weekend is 2 days or 4 UTAs or Unit Training Assemblies. Every additional day is another 2 UTAs
Lets see, what else needs translation into English....
Oh yeah, the Guardsman has 8 hours before they have to return back to work after a drill weekend. I believe that clock is portal to portal, meaning the 8 hours starts when they get home from their drill, not when they are released from final formation. That distinction is important when you have guys who drive 4-6 hours to get to their drilling location. Not every Guardsman is lucky enough to be driling near their hometown for most of their career as I did.
Everything else looks like plain English to me.
