VTU vs IMA
Salty:
Sorry for the confusion--I worked with a guy, and that's what he called it..."IMA." I never heard the term VTU until you posted this. He was driving 700 miles (!!!) to get to his unit, I think 4 times a year, and he was doing it for points-only.
For me, I work about 150 days a year--so that adds a fair amount to my retirement paycheck, and since the USAFR pays for my travel to and from my unit, and my billeting, and I get a full-day's pay, it is a good deal.
I often asked him how he could justify driving all that way, I think paying his own lodging and food, and all that time away from home (or real job), just to make one point a day.
I never got a convincing answer...
