then he said something about 'nine days' for the year in question

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.

No, one point can be different periods of time. For inactive duty training
(i.e., weekend drills), one point means a minimum of four hours duty. The
usual breakdown is two points per day, but sometimes you get snookered by
the system and work a full day for one IDT point. Active duty days accrue at
one point per day. You'd have to break out the IDT and ADT points to
determine the likely "number of days". FYI, IDT points are also "capped"--an
individual can only earn X amount of points per year from IDT.
