Officers should maintain competency,
credentialing, and licensure (if appropriate) in
their respective field.
Respond to any IRC Program/OCCO
correspondence within directed timelines.

Benefits of Serving in the PHS Inactive Reserve

Inactive Reserve time counts toward pay
Training and Experience Date (TE)
towards rank/grade
Each day on active duty counts toward (social
security) not retirement
