Coming off no fly days you have to check 2 things on the VRU, and I believe it does give you a time stamp on your schedule. One is short call status. The next is "next rotation or training activity". A lot of guys have been burned by only checking one and assuming or skipping the other. If you do it via computer then you'll see it with your schedule check.
