PART 101_PARTICIPATION IN RESERVE TRAINING PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  101.6  Criteria for satisfactory performance.

    Within the general policy outlined in Sec.  101.5(a), the minimum 
amount of annual training prescribed by the Secretaries of the Military 
Departments concerned will be no less than the training required to 
maintain the proficiency of the unit and the skill of the individual. In 
establishing annual training requirements under this policy, the 
Secretaries:
    (a) May grant exceptions under circumstances outlined below for 
individuals who are subject to the training requirements set forth in 
Sec.  101.5(a)(1) and (2):
    (1) To the degree that it is consistent with military requirements, 
the personal circumstances of an individual may be considered in 
assigning him/her to a training category prescribed in 32 CFR part 102, 
except as otherwise provided by 32 CFR part 100.
    (2) Members who have performed a minimum initial tour of extended 
active duty, as prescribed by the Military Departments concerned may be 
placed in Category I (no training) as defined in 32 CFR part 102, when 
the Secretary of the Military Department concerned determines that no 
training for mobilization requirement exists because of
    (i) Changes in military skills required;
    (ii) The degree of military skill held; or
    (iii) Compatibility of the member's civilian occupation with his/her 
military skill.
    (b) May grant exceptions regarding absences after considering the 
member's manner of performance of prescribed training duty under the 
provisions of Sec.  101.5(a)(1) and provided that the absences not so 
excepted do not exceed 10% of scheduled drills or training periods.
    (c) Shall require members to: (1) Meet the standards of satisfactory 
performance of training duty set forth in Sec.  101.6(b); or (2) 
participate satisfactorily in an officer training program. The placement 
of such members in the Standby Reserve as a result of the screening 
process prescribed in 32 CFR part 44, will continue to constitute 
satisfactory performance of service.
