Hello everyone,
If possible I was wondering if I could get some clarification as I didn’t see anything pertaining to this on the memo and word of mouth to people is conflicted.
When calculating volunteer hours for the MOVSM do you include travel time. Some events that I have done have been well over an hour to attend and it would be nice to include those hours.
I’ve heard some people say no just count the time at the event which is what I’ve been currently doing and I’ve had people count all the time that they spend that day.
Thank you.

Although sustained community service is not defined by a specific time period or number of volunteer hours (e.g., 36 months encompassing 500 hours of direct volunteer service), approval authorities will ensure the service to be honored merits the special recognition afforded by this medal.

It's what one makes of it, and what the authorizing commander makes a threshold for.

You should probably only count the event time you did, not including travel time. This can help ensure fairness and consistency in calculating volunteer hours. Time Calculator https://time-calculator.io/ can help you to calculate quickly and accurately.
