Lt Bush's four years of "weekend warrior" service (the first two years
were all much better than that, though the average was certainly under
the 38 or 39 days you might expect at the rate of one weekend a month
plus two weeks "summer camp". See www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm
for the breakdown.

This assumes that one point = one day, which of course is not certain.

When I was a Naval reservist at the same time, a day of active duty (
"summer camp", and I did live in a tent on one!) was one point, but a 4
hour inactive duty drill was one point. This gave you 4 points per full
weekend.

A "normal" year would be 48 points inactive ( 12 weekends x 4 points each
) + 12 for the active duty ( 12, not 14 - we didn't get credit for a full
two weeks.)

Some folks, particularly aviators, could get a lot more points if the
worked at it.

You could also get points for other things, like taking correspondence
courses. I did that a lot when the Navy couldn't find anything useful for
me to do.
