There are normally four different duty categories. (UTA, TP, AT, MPA). Some pay whether or not you fly. Some pay ONLY if you fly (a problem if you are staying in the BOQ and expected reimbursement). Some pay a point for retirement....some don't. Some have paid travel associated....some don't.

Learning how to bid and arrange your duty staus is a big part of being a Reservist or Guardsman, especially if you are a commuter.

Otherwise, if you get wx/mx cancelled, or just not scheduled, you might not get paid or get expenses reimbursed.

But at least you dropped that airline trip, and are out THAT money, too.

PM me if you want all the details on pay status.
