There is no contractual time limit. You have to be readily available for short call which can be different for different bases. Long call is 12 hours. It is generally assumed that two hours is a reasonable distance in normal traffic but if they call you out during rush hour three hours my be the best you can do and thats ok. You are correct that living within two hours from one of the airports is all that is required.
I read somewhere that Intl reserve was a 24 hr notice. Did I miss interpret something? How does the conversion from long call to short call work? Do you have 12 hours to report for short call or is it an instant conversion?
