Can the Reserves force you to do online training without pay?

In my reserve unit, the printer is missing so all you can do is do an electronic copy but even some of the mandatory training requires you to print the certificate out and you can't save the results for later. Maybe you could take a screenshot with your smartphone then convert it and email it to your training NCO who keeps track of all your mandatory training. I think that is so dumb the way to do the online training for personnel recovery when we're not in theater and it's one of the slowest and Dumbest presentations and it often crashes. It is pretty funny when you do the mandatory training for Espionage and yet PFC Manning and Snowden aren't on there because the presentation is over 6 years old. The Army Reserve centers internet room is too slow and it will crash if everyone uses the slow as molasses server. Everyone including myself use their own cell phone as a tether hotspot to do necessary paperwork for rescheduling training or signing evaluation reports because we cannot rely on the archaic system that exists Within our armories.

Funding for the F35 has to come from somewhere, I suppose.

I can only deal with the frustration through humor, because you are exactly correct Sir.

SGT Sean Goodrow "The book answer is no.
...however. For some perspective. On Battle Assembly days, you are owned by your Commander for 24 hours."
Times 4 paid days in a drill weekend yes?
So the CDR owns you for 96 hours... of that Id bet there are only about 20~24 hours total over the 4 days that have scheduled training. Lest say 24.. So you have a choice, be in duty uniform at the armory the other 72 hours doing your on line training getting "paid" or be at home in those "non scheduled training hours" getting paid, but give up some "off time" to do the on line training.

The more I hang out at RP, the more I understand why AD folks that retire from AD after 25 plus years are not allowed to join the Reserves.

SGM Erik Marquez - Originally reserve component troops drilled after work on a weekday. My dad was in the local NG unit and they were drilling every Monday evening for four hours in the 60s. Sometime between then and 1980 some people got smart and consolidated the Mandatory Unit Training Assembly (MUTA) to four periods on two days. The Assembly can be longer than four hours, but any more than that and the unit has to provide chow, etc. But they aren't on the hook for 96 hours.

But despite all the reserves have always been the bastard step-child. We get a part time job with some advantages, continuation of military career, the actives are quick to point out we get 15 membership points per year just for belonging to a unit. We get 1 point for each 4 hour uta(the active calls this double credit) , we get correspondence course points for any correspondence courses we take. These are inactive duty points and limited to 60 points per year. Let's look closer 15 membership points, 48 IDT points, stop before we even consider man day spaces, or correspondence course points we now have 63 points we lose three points per year before we even start those. So once we get our 20 years we have lost 60 points without even having completed a correspondence course, or gotten a man day space. Now when we get to twenty years and get our letter we have to wait until we're 60 to get our retirement computed and get paid for the real time we spent in the reserves. Our retirement is justifiably less then active duty based on actual time served. But that is the reduced retirement, why do the reserves have to take a double hit and wait til we're 60 to draw our already reduced retirement?

If a Medic cannot RST to attend EMT training from a Certified State Fire School or other venue. Then yes they can use those hours for Retirement Points.
