Sometimes you get a RR several times a month, sometimes never.
actually ready reserve times are not set and often vary. I've never had it start/end on a 25th minute, usaually on the hour, sometimes on the half hour but here is the different periods I have sat:
AM: 5-1, 6-2, 7-3
PM: 1-9, 2-10, 3-11
Also I've had all of these start/end on the 1/2 hour after the hour listed above
It all depends on what they need. Also I've never broken 10 hours on straight reserve.
