Yes, weekends typically count as active service for reservists, as they often fulfill their training requirements during this time. Reserve units usually conduct drills or training exercises on weekends, which are considered part of their service obligation. However, the specifics can vary based on the branch of service and individual contracts, so it's important for reservists to check their terms and conditions.
You only get points for your Active players. Your reserves (or BENCH) players do get points, but their points do not count towards your total.
No, the U.S. Army does not have a 15-year retirement option. Typically, active duty service members are eligible to retire with full benefits after 20 years of active service. Reserve time does not count towards active service retirement, but it may count towards retirement in the Reserve Component.

The four years at the academy are not used in calculating your retirement pay from the military. However, if you were to enter civil service and were to retire from that career, then your civil service pension would count your four years at the academy, plus your active duty military time, plus your time as a civil servant. Correction: military service time does not count towards a civil service retirement benefit. You must "buy into" the federal retirement program based on your years of military service. This is not cheap.
The exact number is classified, however, the current approximate count is about 2,400 Navy SEALs on active duty status and another 700 in the Navy Reserves.

Weekends count for OSHA lost time if:the employee normally worked weekends, orFriday was a lost day and was a day the employee was scheduled to work, orthe injury was on Friday, the employee was scheduled to work Monday but Monday was a lost day.
No, business days typically do not include weekends when calculating the processing time for orders.
Yes (and no). For the purpose of "Active Duty" it absolutely does. For the purpose of benefits, it usually does not. Benefits use "Active Service" which 99% of the time stipulates "other than active duty for training". So it depends on what you are specifically asking for.
No. Time in ROTC does not count towards your military time in service.
The Navy, like any military branch, only counts time that you are actually on active duty; e.g., if you're in the Delayed Entry Program, the time you spend in DEP doesn't count toward your service time. Essentially it comes down to the time you're actually working as a Federal Employee, which is what all Veterans on active duty are. Even Reservists who aren't called up to active duty only have their time counted toward retirement that they're actually drilling on weekends, on TAD 2 weeks per year, or are called up for extended active duty. As an example, I spent just over 8 years on active duty in the Navy, and 3 years in the Reserves at the Pentagon. Between those, I had only about 9 years total actual military time counted, even with several weeks on active duty during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The Reserve point system lets Reservists accrue 1 point per active duty day, 2 for each drilling day, and 15 bonus points for each year you complete all requirements.

About 2 weeks (14). Business days don't count weekends.
