Reserves required for VA Loan?

Just curious. but does a VA mortgage loan require reserves?? I don't know that I have ever heard anyone say if they do or don't.  Since I have just started the loan process today and my son will be graduating next year and then on to college, I would like to have a really nice vacation later this month or early July..  But, since I am in the loan process now, I guess I won't be using my cc's and will need to use cash/debit. So that was why I was wondering if VA loans require reserves?? Don't want to spend too much!!!

Re: Reserves required for VA Loan?

When we were in underwriting for our VA loan last year, the LO said we just needed at least one month's mortgage in reserve.
