[ghost_recon27]

Hi there fellow Reservist,

My friend from my college year ask me about the ROTC.

He ask me if how can he join the Reserve Corps as an active reservist, he is me batch in the ROTC last 2002 in  Sarmar Province.

Hope someone could help my friend, thanks.

If he wants to join an Army ready reserve battalion, he could go to the nearest Community Defense Center or Regional Community Defense Group and sign up there.

question????? ano ang ginagawa ng isang active reserve???? is it still the same in ready reserve??? kasi parang iba ang meaning ng active iba naman ang meaning ng reserve kasi ang alam ko meaning ng "active" "direct participation" diba yung ang ginagawa ng mga regular Force  ang meaning naman ng "reserve" "A military reserve or strategic reserve is a group of military personnel not committed to battle by their commander so that they are available to address unforeseen situations. Such forces may be held back to defend against attack from other enemy forces, to be committed to the existing battle if the enemy exposes a vulnerability, or to serve as relief for troops already fighting."

please enlighten me with this

Ghost_recon27, yes I think the procedures are the same for those who are in Manila. Or you could go directly to HQ ARESCOM in Ft. Bonifacio and sign up there.

Medic4, 'active reserve' is wrong terminology. In the reserves, dalawa lang status nyan. Ready Reserve and Standby Reserve. Normally, all ROTC graduates are placed in standby reserve units. Standby reserves usually have no further training other than their ROTC. Ready reserves on the other hand supposedly have periodic training and activities. For each CDC, there is 1 ready reserve battalion I think. Don't quote me on that though. As for the readiness status of our RRBns, I am not so sure.

Here's how I understand it. An "active" reservist is one that has been called to duty. Examples of reservists on duty would be:

- Reserve officers who have gone through OCS, and are part of the active duty roster
- A member of the CAFGU when employed as such

As per Article X, Sec 59 of Republic Act 7077, the ready reserve can be called to duty either during a partial or full mobilization. Other reservist classifications can only be called during a full mobilization.

A military reserve or strategic reserve is a group of military personnel not committed to battle by their commander so that they are available to address unforeseen situations.

This definition must be taken into context. 

In the reserves, dalawa lang status nyan. Ready Reserve and Standby Reserve.

Actually, there are three classifications -- as per Article V, Sec 13 or RA 7077

• Ready Reserve
• Standby Reserve
• Retired Reserve -- these are reservists who are over 65

I forgot about the retired reserve. Hehe Thanks adroth!

Thank you Sir Ian Sir Adroth  for that information nalito lang ako sa salitang "active reserve"

Sir Adroth: you mention Active reservist are reserve Officers who have gone OCS, and Part Of the Active Duty Roster
Swelduhan ba sila what i mean is are they employed as a government employee??? like the medical dispensary,dental Dispensary and JAGO are they so called active reservist? and are they entitled benefits like the regular does??

[Adroth]

Sir Adroth: you mention Active reservist are reserve Officers who have gone OCS,

Both officers and non-officer reservists can be called to duty. The nature of the duty depends on the specifics of the relevant order.

For example, I know of one reserve NCO with highly specialized IT skills -- by virtue of his position in a multinational IT firm -- who is on special weekend-only duty during which time he is helping a specific AFP unit establish its IT infrastructure. He is on the forum, and I will leave it to him to elaborate on his role. This specific instance, of course, is more of the exception than the rule.

Non-officer reservists in the Philippine Marines are essentially called to duty when they participate in exercises.

and Part Of the Active Duty Roster Swelduhan ba sila what i mean is are they employed as a government employee??? like the medical dispensary,dental Dispensary and JAGO are they so called active reservist? and are they entitled benefits like the regular does??

They better be.

Remember that based on figures compiled by the National ROTC Alumni Association (NRAA), 70% of the AFP officer corps is composed of active reserve officers. I don't think they'd be doing that pro bono. 

As per Article X, Section 60 of RA 7077:

SEC. 60. Status of Reservists under Mobilization. - An enlisted or officer reservist when called to active duty by virtue of mobilization shall receive all the pay and allowances, medical care, hospitalization and other privileges and benefits prescribed by law or regulations for officers and enlisted personnel of the regular force.

Hi Ian,

thanks!

ask him kung ano ang mas preferred nyang branch of service. Gusto ba nya ng airforce, navy or army reserves?

the marine reserves and the army reserves are stationed in ft. bonifacio. hindi ko kse alam kung san ang airforce reserve command... sa pagkaka-alam ko, it's somewhere in  villamor air base.

The Army reservists report in every Sundays while we (Marine Reserves) report in every Saturdays. Kung saan kayo maluwag ang sched dun na lang kyo.

Naval Reserve is said to be somewhere at Ft. Santiago in Intramuros.

PAF Reserve:

For inquiries on joining the PAF Reserve Force, call the PAF Trunkline at 8546701 and ask for your call to be transfered to the "ARC" (Air Reserve Command). 

(Be warned, for some reason unknown to me, it is a bit tricky getting through the trunk line operator. )

But when you get through to contact the  ARC office, you should find people there are very helpful and accommodating.  The location of the ARC office is in the Villamor Air Base compound, Pasay City.

Weekend UADT training for the current batch of reservists is currently ongoing.  But inquiries on joining the reserve force are always welcome.

PN Reserve:

The NAVRESCOM Headquarters is located inside Intramuros.  Find the Cathedral, on the side there is a plaza-like area.  Across the street from that is a Chowking outlet at a corner in Aduana.  There should also be a "NAVRESCOM --->" sign on that area.

Enter the side street besides that Chowking outlet and at the end of the road will be the NAVRESCOM compound.  Ask the Navy guard for directions.
