Question
Has there ever been a Voluntary Inactive Duty Training Guidance program similar to USAR's for the ARNG?
Recognizing the extra hours and due diligence of invested leaders is a strong retention tool. Retirement points are better than nothing and with appropriate backwards planning and policy development could be standardized across the force.
Answer 1
I'd recommend you ask at ARNG Personnel Policy Division (ARNG-HRH)
Answer 2
BLUF: No; I do not believe NGR 350-1 authorizes this type training period
However, OSD categorizes "voluntary IDT" as "special additional duties . . . performed in connection with prescribed training or maintenance activities" of the member's unit, and "performed for retirement points only" (i.e. non-paid) and not DL (per Title 37). These periods are not less than two hours and are for a maximum of two points on any calendar day. You might ask the trainers about additional training periods (type-drill 81).
