The currency is an interesting issue. Can they force you to maintain it? I'll answer it this way, when can they force you to show up? Drill weekend, an activation, annual tour. You show up at those times then currency becomes their problem. It's their job to get you current if you're present for those mandatory days. I tested that one myself and within 90 days my paperwork to go to the IRR was signed.
