00:07.889 --> 00:10.000
Individual reservists are responsible

00:10.000 --> 00:12.329
for managing their own readiness . This

00:12.329 --> 00:14.609
video provides information on readiness

00:14.609 --> 00:16.776
requirements and due dates , including

00:16.776 --> 00:18.942
how and when to make medical readiness

00:18.942 --> 00:22.610
appointments . There are 4 primary

00:22.610 --> 00:25.010
categories of readiness , individual

00:25.010 --> 00:27.879
medical readiness , known as IMR ,

00:28.280 --> 00:31.250
fitness , security clearance , and

00:31.250 --> 00:34.290
upgrade training . Medical readiness

00:34.290 --> 00:36.123
includes the preventative health

00:36.123 --> 00:39.319
assessment , or PHA dental exams ,

00:39.490 --> 00:43.119
immunizations , and labs . For any

00:43.119 --> 00:45.369
IRs with dependents or civilian spouses

00:45.369 --> 00:47.480
with unique family situations , there

00:47.480 --> 00:49.258
is a family care plan readiness

00:49.258 --> 00:52.860
requirement . To monitor your

00:52.860 --> 00:54.971
readiness , you'll need your ACNET my

00:54.971 --> 00:57.139
readiness report . This report shows

00:57.139 --> 00:59.195
your overall readiness status across

00:59.195 --> 01:01.700
the different categories . Green is

01:01.700 --> 01:03.819
ready , yellow is due , and red is

01:03.819 --> 01:07.680
overdue . The PHA is

01:07.680 --> 01:10.639
an annual requirement for IRs . IRs

01:10.639 --> 01:12.139
need to complete an online

01:12.139 --> 01:14.269
questionnaire on the My IMR website .

01:14.519 --> 01:16.575
The Military treatment facility , or

01:16.575 --> 01:19.309
MTF at the IRS unit will sign off on it .

01:19.599 --> 01:21.879
The PHA includes a mandatory mental

01:21.879 --> 01:25.069
health assessment . PHAs are no longer

01:25.069 --> 01:27.236
required to be face to face unless you

01:27.236 --> 01:29.236
are a flyer or a special operations

01:29.236 --> 01:32.599
duty member . The dental requirement

01:32.599 --> 01:35.400
involves annual dental exams for IRs .

01:35.569 --> 01:37.720
Every 3rd year , the exam must be

01:37.720 --> 01:40.389
performed by an MTF military dentist .

01:40.720 --> 01:42.942
For the other 2 years , the IR civilian

01:42.942 --> 01:46.000
dentist must fill out DD Form 2813 to

01:46.000 --> 01:47.940
be submitted on my FSS .

01:49.800 --> 01:51.856
Immunizations are one of the biggest

01:51.856 --> 01:53.790
areas where IRs fail to maintain

01:53.790 --> 01:55.750
readiness . The most important

01:55.750 --> 01:57.972
immunization is the flu vaccine , which

01:57.972 --> 02:00.269
is an annual requirement . The annual

02:00.269 --> 02:02.589
flu vaccination go red date is December

02:02.589 --> 02:05.440
15th each year . A flu vaccine can be

02:05.440 --> 02:07.809
obtained at an MTF or by a civilian

02:07.809 --> 02:09.929
provider . When a civilian . provider

02:09.929 --> 02:12.208
administers the flu vaccine . IRs will

02:12.208 --> 02:14.430
need to submit the record with the date

02:14.430 --> 02:16.652
received , the manufacturer and the lot

02:16.652 --> 02:18.597
number . IRs must submit their flu

02:18.597 --> 02:21.889
vaccination record on my FSS . Every 10

02:21.889 --> 02:24.518
years . IRs require a tetanus shot .

02:24.809 --> 02:26.976
There are other immunizations that may

02:26.976 --> 02:28.642
be required for accession and

02:28.642 --> 02:31.889
deployments . Labs are the other piece

02:31.889 --> 02:35.009
of an IR's medical readiness . IRs must

02:35.009 --> 02:37.065
be in military status at the time of

02:37.065 --> 02:40.059
the lab draw . Every 2 years , IRs must

02:40.059 --> 02:43.500
get an HIV lab test at an MTF . One

02:43.500 --> 02:45.699
time lab draws include blood type and

02:45.699 --> 02:49.259
RH factor , G6PD , sickle cell , and a

02:49.259 --> 02:51.740
DNA sample . These do not need to be

02:51.740 --> 02:53.449
gathered at an MTF .

02:55.960 --> 02:58.071
Here's some guidance to stay green on

02:58.071 --> 03:00.550
medical readiness . Complete your

03:00.550 --> 03:02.772
medical readiness tasks while on annual

03:02.772 --> 03:04.949
tour or in active duty training . To

03:04.949 --> 03:07.350
attend an appointment at an MTF you

03:07.350 --> 03:09.949
must be in a military status . You must

03:09.949 --> 03:12.171
bring a copy of your orders or assigned

03:12.171 --> 03:15.500
40A . It's the IR's responsibility to

03:15.500 --> 03:17.889
upload medical documents such as dental

03:17.889 --> 03:21.139
and flu shot records to my FSS . If you

03:21.139 --> 03:23.361
need help doing so , submit a ticket in

03:23.361 --> 03:25.979
my FSS for assistance from HQ Rio's

03:25.979 --> 03:27.368
medical readiness team .

03:29.589 --> 03:31.940
IRs are expected to meet and maintain

03:31.940 --> 03:34.779
physical fitness standards . Is must

03:34.779 --> 03:37.001
take a fitness assessment with cardio ,

03:37.001 --> 03:39.112
strength , and endurance categories .

03:39.419 --> 03:41.539
IRs must be in status to perform a

03:41.539 --> 03:43.940
fitness test . Fitness assessments

03:43.940 --> 03:46.051
conducted outside of the duty station

03:46.051 --> 03:47.996
where the IR is assigned require a

03:47.996 --> 03:49.829
letter from the IR's commander .

03:51.600 --> 03:54.139
Is must also complete the annual body

03:54.139 --> 03:56.250
composition assessment requirement in

03:56.250 --> 03:58.472
their birth month or every 12 months if

03:58.472 --> 04:00.583
it's an out of cycle assessment . The

04:00.583 --> 04:02.639
BCA must be done in a qualified duty

04:02.639 --> 04:06.449
status . Review the fitness assessment

04:06.449 --> 04:08.616
chart for due dates based on the score

04:08.616 --> 04:10.782
of your last assessment . Schedule the

04:10.782 --> 04:12.838
fitness assessment through your unit

04:12.838 --> 04:14.282
fitness program manager .

04:16.498 --> 04:18.609
Security clearances are determined by

04:18.609 --> 04:21.178
the Security access requirement or SAR

04:21.178 --> 04:23.058
associated with the IR's funded

04:23.058 --> 04:26.220
manpower authorization . Not every IR

04:26.220 --> 04:28.442
needs to renew their security clearance

04:28.442 --> 04:30.498
each year . See your unit's security

04:30.498 --> 04:32.220
monitor for more information .

04:34.140 --> 04:36.239
IRs must complete certain upgrade

04:36.239 --> 04:38.350
training sessions based on their duty

04:38.350 --> 04:40.640
AFSC code , but there are several

04:40.640 --> 04:42.679
standard trainings all IRs must

04:42.679 --> 04:45.459
complete as listed here . See your

04:45.459 --> 04:47.292
unit's training manager for more

04:47.292 --> 04:50.910
information . For

04:50.910 --> 04:53.140
IRs who are a single parent , a dual

04:53.140 --> 04:55.196
military couple with dependents , or

04:55.196 --> 04:57.084
married to a civilian spouse with

04:57.084 --> 04:59.084
unique family situations , you must

04:59.084 --> 05:01.140
fill out AF Form 357 to certify your

05:01.140 --> 05:04.119
family care plans . In the event of a

05:04.119 --> 05:06.230
change in family circumstances , such

05:06.230 --> 05:08.397
as a birth or adoption of a child or a

05:08.397 --> 05:10.190
loss of a spouse , notify your

05:10.190 --> 05:12.320
commander or first sergeant within 90

05:12.320 --> 05:16.160
days . Keeping track

05:16.160 --> 05:18.271
of all the readiness requirements can

05:18.271 --> 05:21.089
be a challenge . That's why HQ Real and

05:21.089 --> 05:23.420
the IR strategy office built the IMA

05:23.420 --> 05:25.476
Battle rhythm , a readiness timeline

05:25.476 --> 05:27.587
tool to help IRs plan their readiness

05:27.587 --> 05:29.531
requirements . This calendar shows

05:29.531 --> 05:31.809
monthly tasks that IRs must complete .

05:33.390 --> 05:35.168
The calendar has other personal

05:35.168 --> 05:37.223
readiness items that IRs can drag to

05:37.223 --> 05:39.279
the month that makes sense for their

05:39.279 --> 05:41.880
service obligations . IRs can fill in

05:41.880 --> 05:44.119
the dates of their planned AT PME

05:44.119 --> 05:46.480
status , next promotion , and latest

05:46.480 --> 05:49.720
decoration . I should download this

05:49.720 --> 05:52.390
tool from HQ Rio's readiness web page

05:52.390 --> 05:54.612
and share their timeline with their URC

05:54.612 --> 05:58.390
or supervisor . Keep in

05:58.390 --> 06:00.112
mind , if you fail to maintain

06:00.112 --> 06:02.168
readiness , there are consequences .

06:02.869 --> 06:05.690
Aside from AT and IDT you cannot

06:05.690 --> 06:07.912
perform any tours until you are current

06:07.912 --> 06:10.260
on all readiness requirements . If you

06:10.260 --> 06:12.316
are not medically ready , you may be

06:12.316 --> 06:14.316
denied participation or process for

06:14.316 --> 06:17.149
separation due to non-compliance . If

06:17.149 --> 06:19.205
you are overdue on fitness , you may

06:19.205 --> 06:21.316
receive a referral enlisted or office

06:21.316 --> 06:23.260
of performance brief , a letter of

06:23.260 --> 06:25.482
counseling , a letter of reprimand , or

06:25.482 --> 06:28.230
other administrative actions . If you

06:28.230 --> 06:30.174
do not maintain a state of mission

06:30.174 --> 06:32.119
readiness , you may be voluntarily

06:32.119 --> 06:34.063
reassigned to the individual ready

06:34.063 --> 06:36.063
reserve or placed in a no pay or no

06:36.063 --> 06:39.589
point status . Remember , IRs are

06:39.589 --> 06:41.533
responsible for managing their own

06:41.533 --> 06:44.730
readiness . The active duty MTF is

06:44.730 --> 06:47.059
responsible for creating all IR medical

06:47.059 --> 06:50.839
profiles , not HQ Real Medical . Is

06:50.839 --> 06:52.895
must report health status changes to

06:52.895 --> 06:55.519
their servicing MTF within 72 hours .

06:56.429 --> 06:58.850
IR should always communicate readiness

06:58.850 --> 07:01.017
issues and questions with their active

07:01.017 --> 07:02.850
duty supervisor and detachment .

07:04.779 --> 07:07.339
Visit HQ Rio's readiness web page for

07:07.339 --> 07:09.450
additional information on medical and

07:09.450 --> 07:11.783
