You need to be able to report for duty within two hours of notification. You can have a line with reserve days where you sit by the phone and wait

, and wai

t, and wait

.
That being said, you may need to get a crash pad with other mates at your domicile/base. That said, your commute may interfere with your days off. Your reserve day may be based on a 24 hour day, or a designated time frame. That said, you may be able to position to your domicile/base on the day your reserve day starts, and go home is your reserve day ends early enough.
